Novel recombinant sapovirus

Emerg Infect Dis. 2004 Oct;10(10):1874-6. doi: 10.3201/eid1010.040395.

Abstract

We determined the complete genome sequences of two sapovirus strains isolated in Thailand and Japan. One of these strains represented a novel, naturally occurring recombinant sapovirus. Evidence suggested the recombination site was at the polymerase-capsid junction within open reading frame one.
