Phylogenetic tree based on 387 nucleotide sequences of the 5′ end of open reading frame 2 (encoding viral protein 1) of norovirus strains from Royal Liverpool Children’s National Health Service Foundation Trust (Alder Hey Hospital), Liverpool, UK. For each strain the source (healthcare-associated [HA] or community-acquired [CA]), specimen number, month/year of detection, and the name of the strain is indicated. Reference strains included on the tree are GII/1 U07611 Hawaii/71/US, GII/2 X81879 Me

Horizontal lengths are proportional to the genetic distance calculated with the Kimura 2-parameter method. Scale bar shows genetic distance expressed as nucleotide substitutions per site. Bootstrap probabilities >80% (>800 of 1,000 pseudoreplicate trials) are indicated at each node. The nucleotide sequences used in the tree have been deposited under the strain name and accession number (in parentheses) as follows; 06AH107 (FJ797840), 06AH109 (FJ797841), 06AH187 (FJ797842), 06AH194 (FJ797843), 06AH225 (FJ797844), 06AH387 (FJ797845), 06AH395 (FJ797846), 06AH397 (FJ797847), 06AH040 (FJ797848), 06AH402 (FJ797849), 06AH406 (FJ797850), 06AH408 (FJ797851), 06AH410 (FJ797852), 07AH448 (FJ797853), 06AH050 (FJ797854), 07AH509 (FJ797855), 07AH517 (FJ797856) 07AH525 (FJ797857), 07AH551 (FJ797858), 07AH570 (FJ797859), 07AH571 (FJ797860), 07AH579 (FJ797861), 07AH590 (FJ797862), 07AH602 (FJ797863), 07AH604 (FJ797864), 07AH611 (FJ797865), 07AH612 (FJ797866), 07AH616 (FJ797867), 07AH619 (FJ797868), 07AH623 (FJ797869), 07AH633 (FJ797870), 07AH642 (FJ797871), 07AH643 (FJ797872), 07AH651 (FJ797873), 07AH653 (FJ797874), 07AH654 (FJ797875), 06AH097 (FJ797876).
