Monthly distribution of norovirus genotypes identified in the Oceania Region in 2017. (A) The number of GI norovirus genotypes identified in the Oceania region (Australia and New Zealand) during the study period. A total of 73 samples were collected and identified as GI norovirus, 52 cases were linked to outbreaks and the remaining were sporadic cases (n = 21). Both polymerase and capsid regions were sequenced to determine its genotype, with each genotype denoted by different colors as indicated in the legend. The ND represents samples that had incomplete genotyping results where only the capsid or the polymerase region was determined. (B) The monthly genotype distribution of GII noroviruses identified in New South Wales, Australia, throughout the study was examined. A total of 220 GII cases were identified in this study, where 44 were linked to outbreaks and the remaining were considered sporadic cases (n = 176). (C) All samples collected from New Zealand were of outbreak samples and a total of 184 GII outbreaks were investigated in 2017. The monthly genotype distribution of GII noroviruses are shown.
