*All strains belong to genogroup II except for WUGI/02/JP, which belongs to genogroup I. †RdRp, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. ‡Strain used to determine breakpoint, closest matching strain in the database where enough sequence data were available for analysis. GenBank accession nos. are in Figure 1 unless stated. §For NoV GI (strain WUGI/02/JP), the classification system of Katayama et al. (10) was used; for GII (all other strains), the classification system of Vinjé et al. (23) was used. Closely related sequences are underlined. ¶Breakpoint determined by using the method of Smith (20) relative to Lordsdale nucleotide position for NoV GII (open reading frame [ORF]1/ORF2 overlap 5085–5104) and Norwalk for NoV GI (ORF1/ORF2 overlap 5358–5374). p value <0.0001.
