Implication

Suggests possible zoonotic origins for Sapporo-like HuCVs; leaves open need for expanded genomic surveillance in animals and humans.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Stool specimens containing human calicivirus (HuCV) collected during gastroenteritis outbreaks in Sapporo, Japan (1982) and a Houston day care center (1986)
I
Intervention
cDNA cloning and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification
O
Outcome
Nucleotide and amino acid sequence identity and phylogenetic relationship

The HuCV/Sapporo strain represents a distinct genetic lineage of human caliciviruses that is more closely related to animal caliciviruses than to other known human strains.
