An outbreak of norovirus (NoV) infection was identified in a kennel. Sequence analysis of a short fragment in the polymerase complex indicated the clonal origin of the strains, which were similar to the prototype canine NoV strain GIV.2/Bari/170/07-4/ITA (94.7% nucleotide identity). The findings demonstrate that canine NoV circulates in dogs in Greece and that it can spread easily across a group of animals.
在一个犬舍中发现了诺如病毒(NoV)感染的爆发。聚合酶复合物中的短片段序列分析表明,这些毒株具有克隆起源,与原型犬 NoV 株 GIV.2/Bari/170/07-4/ITA(核苷酸同一性为 94.7%)相似。这些发现表明,犬诺如病毒在希腊的犬中传播,并且可以很容易地在一群动物中传播。
