Abstract

An outbreak of gastroenteritis occurred at a kindergarten in Yokote City, Japan, between February 2006 and March 2006. Sapovirus was identified in 19 of 26 stool specimens by reverse transcription-PCR. A high viral shedding pattern was found for this strain, which was shown to be antigenically distinct from other genogroups.

Phylogenetic analysis of SaV capsid (nucleotide) sequences showing the different genogroups and clusters. The numbers on each branch indicate the bootstrap values for the genotype. Bootstrap values of 950 or higher were considered statistically significant for the grouping. The scale represents nucleotide substitutions per site. GenBank accession numbers for the reference strains are as follows: Arg39, AY289803; C12, AY603425; Chiba000496F, AJ412800; Cruise ship, AY289804; Ehime643, DQ366345; Ehime1107, DQ058829; Houston27, U95644; Manchester, X86560; Mc2, AY237419; Mc10, AY237420; Mex340, AF435812; Parkville, U73124; PEC, AF182760; Potsdam, AF294739; Sapporo, U65427; Stockholm318, AF194182; and SW278, DQ125333.
