Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Recombinant GII.P16-GII.1 Norovirus Associated with a Gastroenteritis Outbreak in Shandong Province, China, in 2017

ABSTRACT We report here the complete genome sequence of a novel recombinant GII.P16-GII.1 norovirus identified from eight fecal samples collected during an acute gastroenteritis outbreak in Jinan, Shandong Province, China, in 2017. The virus had nucleotide identities of 99% and 91% in the ORF1 and ORF2 genes of related strains, respectively.
