First Complete Genome Sequence of a Genogroup II Genotype 18 Porcine Norovirus, Strain QW125.

ABSTRACT: Noroviruses, members of the family Caliciviridae, are genetically diverse. We report the first complete genome sequence of a genogroup II genotype 18 porcine norovirus, strain QW125. A protein BLAST search revealed that identity scores of this strain compared to other norovirus strains were highest in the predicted protease region.
