Genetic heterogeneity in gastroenteritis viruses warrants targeted surveillance; leaves open outcome differences by group.
Morphologically identical small round-structured viruses causing gastroenteritis belong to at least two genetically distinct groups based on RNA polymerase and capsid diversity.
Green et al. (1994) studied Gastroenteritis. Sequence comparison of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases was evaluated on Genetic variation and grouping of small round-structured viruses. Sequence comparison of small round-structured viruses from gastroenteritis outbreaks revealed they belong to at least two genetically distinct groups based on RNA polymerase and capsid diversity.
