Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of norovirus gastroenteritis among hospitalized children in Lebanon

Figure 2 Phylogenetic analysis of norovirus viral protein 1 major capsid gene. Nucleotide sequences spanning nucleotides 5385–5657 (length = 273 nt) of NoV isolated in Lebanon were aligned with reference strains obtained from GenBank. The trees were then constructed based on the nucleotide sequences using the neighbor-joining method with bootstrap analysis of 1000 replicates using MEGA version 6.0. Bootstrap values > 70% are shown. Reference strains are in bold. LBM: Lebanon Makassed Hospital; LBH: Lebanon, Hammoud Hospital; LBN: Lebanon, Nini Hospital; LBR: Lebanon, Hariri Governmental Hospital; LBA: Lebanon, American University of Beirut Medical Center; LBNG: Lebanon, Nabatiyeh Hospital; NoV: Norovirus.
