Capsid protein of norovirus genogroup II (GII) plays crucial roles in host infection. Although studies on capsid gene evolution have been conducted for a few genotypes of norovirus, the molecular evolution of norovirus GII is not well understood. Here we report the molecular evolution of all GII genotypes, using various bioinformatics techniques.

We studied the molecular evolution of the capsid gene in all genotypes (genotypes 1-9) of human norovirus (NoV) genogroup I. The evolutionary time scale and rate were estimated by the Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. We also performed selective pressure analysis and B-cell linear epitope prediction in the deduced NoV GI capsid protein.

- The study aimed to identify sources of Listeria monocytogenes contamination in cattle at a slaughterhouse by collecting skin, intestinal contents, and carcass samples.
- Out of 60 skin samples, 30 tested positive for Listeria, with 3 specifically identified as L. monocytogenes, while no contamination was found in intestinal contents or carcasses.
- Genetic analysis indicated a persistent presence of Listeria in the studied area, with two prevalent serotypes identified among the isolates.
