Evidence of recombination for sapovirus GII.4 Lima1873 compared to previous sequenced GII.1 and GII.4 genomes. Sapovirus genomes were analyzed by SimPlot and similarity scores using a 200 nt sliding window are plotted. Three reference strains (A, B and C) were analyzed against the query sequence GII.4_Lima1873. Similarity scores of all three references (two GII.1 and one GII.4) were almost > 85% in the entire NS region, with a notable drop in similarity scores over the capsid region and ORF2 (VP2). The query sequence most closely related to previously described sapovirus recombinant strain with a GII.P polymerase and GII.4 capsid (KP067444). Red boxes indicate the approximate location of the hemi nested genotyping primers [29].
