Popis: A new genogroup III genotype 2 bovine norovirus, B309/2003/BE, was entirely sequenced and genetically compared to the original Newbury2/1976/UK strain and to Dumfries/1994/UK, detected in 1976 and 1994, respectively. Interestingly, except in well-defined coding regions (N-terminal protein, 3A-like protease, hypervariable region of the capsid protein, and C-terminal part of the minor structural protein), very low genetic differences were noted between the entire genomes of these three strains along a 30-year-long period. It allowed some hypotheses of hotspots of genetic evolution through a low genetic evolution background in genotype 2 genogroup III bovine noroviruses.
