Main Article

Figure

Phylogenetic trees for the A) capsid (VP1) gene and B) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) region in human norovirus GII strains. Trees were constructed by using the maximum-likelihood method. Scale bar represents number of nucleotide substitutions per site. Bold letters denote GII.2v strains. Numbers at branch nodes show bootstrap values with >70% support.
