This present report highlight’s the genetic homology patterns of GII.17 noroviruses detected among children under-5 years of age with diarrhea in the South-South, region of Nigeria. Stool specimens were collected from 300 children with diarrhea and analyzed for norovirus using conventional reverse transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction. Sequencing of the capsid region was performed to genotype the strains SN - 1756-0500 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-020-05185-0 DO - 10.1186/s13104-020-05185-0 ID - Osazuwa2020 ER -
