Abstract

Genomic recombination is a crucial mechanism used to generate genetic variation in human noroviruses. Recombinant variants have been increasingly identified and have contributed to sporadic cases and epidemic outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis globally. We report the near-complete genome of a novel recombinant norovirus GII.P7-GII.6 strain detected in an adult with norovirus gastroenteritis in the United States in 2018.
