Human noroviruses are the major cause of acute gastroenteritis and exhibit considerable genetic diversity. Next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis based on environmental surveillance has been proved to be an effective method in norovirus surveillance. Between January 2019 and December 2021, 36 sew...
