MOLECULAR-GENETIC ANALYSIS OF OUTBREAKS CAUSED BY NOROVIRUS IN SEVERAL CONSTITUENT ENTITIES OF THE FAR EASTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT DURING 2021 – 2025
Abstract
Norovirus causes acute gastroenteritis, primarily in children aged under 5 years and among the elderly, and frequently causes outbreaks in educational and healthcare institutions, summer recreation camps, on cruise liners. The current classification of noroviruses distinguishes 10 genogroups. Among them GII.4Sydney [P.16] и GII.17[P.17] are prevailing in recent years. Objective of the current research was to conduct molecular-genetic analysis of norovirus genotypes causing outbreaks in several constituent entities of the Far Eastern federal district during 2021-2025.
