Phylogenetic tree of noroviruses based on the 282-bp region of the capsid N terminus/shell gene. Nucleotide sequences were analyzed by using the maximum-likelihood method. Supporting bootstrap values >70 are shown. The subtrees of GII.17 detected in Guangdong Province , China, during 2014–2015 were compressed. GII.21 genotype strains were used as outgroups. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. Sequences of 24 reference norovirus strains are included. Arrowhead represents num
