For each month between January 2005 and August 2006, a representative number of outbreaks was examined using nucleic acid sequence analysis. Using this method, we showed that an increase in norovirus activity coincided with the emergence of a new GII genotype 4 variant, which by March 2006 was detected in the majority of health boards in Scotland.
