Molecular evolution of the capsid (VP1) region in human norovirus genogroup II genotype 3

Norovirus GII.3 has been suggested to be a prevalent genotype in patients with acute gastroenteritis. However, the genetic properties of the VP1 region encoding the major GII.3 antigen remain unclear. Here, we performed molecular evolutionary analyses of the GII.3 VP1 region detected in various coun...
