The occurrence of human norovirus (NoV) genogroup I (GI) and genogroup II (GII) strains were investigated between 2007 and 2010 in Korea. NoV GI was detected in 4.5% and NoV GII in 1.5%. Samples collected in winter had the highest occurrence; 9.4% for NoV GI and 6.3% for NoV GII. NoV GI detection was highest in groundwater, next highest in river water, and lowest in lake water (5.9%, 5.4%, and 1.6%, respectively), and NoV GII was found only in river water. When three representative Korean basin systems (Han (H)-, Geum/Seom (G/S)-, and Nakdong (N)-river basins) were compared, both NoV genogroups were high in the G/S-, but absent in the H- river basin. Only one GI NoV was found in the N-river basin. The most prevalent genotypes within the GI and GII groups were GI.5 and GII.4, respectively. This is the first nationwide surveillance of NoV in major Korean water sources. |
