ABSTRACT
Norovirus (NoV) is one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Genotype GII.P17-G.II.17 emerged in Asia between 2013 and 2015 and transiently replaced the GII.4 Sydney 2012 variant circulating at that time. We present the genome characterisation of a GII.P17-GII.17 strain causing a large outbreak in Romania in 2021. Our study shows that the 2021 strain belongs to a novel cluster of genotype GII.17, different from the two previously recognised P.17 clusters. Distinctive substitutions in predicted conformational epitopes of VP1 were identified for this new cluster. Also, our phylogenetic analysis showed the existence of another P.17 cluster grouping strains from France and Canada.
