Key result
The near-complete genome sequence of the novel recombinant norovirus strain GII.P7-GII.6, detected in an adult with norovirus gastroenteritis in the United States, was determined to be 7,537 nucleotides in length.
Case Report (n=1)
Provides the near-complete genome sequence of a novel recombinant norovirus strain, contributing to the understanding of genetic variation in human norovirus.
Supports ongoing norovirus surveillance; leaves open recombinant strain prevalence and clinical impact.
Homologous recombination is one of the driving forces contributing to the genetic variation of human norovirus, which is an important cause of sporadic and epidemic acute gastroenteritis globally. We report the near-complete genome of the novel recombinant norovirus strain GII.P7-GII.6, detected in an adult with norovirus gastroenteritis in the United States.

Yang et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Norovirus gastroenteritis (n=1). Genome sequencing of norovirus strain GII.P7-GII.6 was evaluated on Complete genome sequence. The near-complete genome sequence of the novel recombinant norovirus strain GII.P7-GII.6, detected in an adult with norovirus gastroenteritis in the United States, was determined to be 7,537 nucleotides in length.
