Molecular Characterization of Norovirus Strains Isolated from Older Children and Adults in Impoverished Communities of Vhembe District, South Africa

Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree based on the 326-nucleotide sequence of the NoV GII polymerase gene fragment; the neighbour-joining tree of the GII polymerase genotypes circulating between August 2017 and October 2018 in the rural communities of Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Round black dot indicates the GII.Pg polymerase genotype from this study. Thirty reference strains of NoV are randomly selected from GenBank with their respective accession numbers. All positions containing gaps and missing data are eliminated. Evolutionary analyses are conducted in MEGA X [30].
