Next generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the ability to sequence genomes, e.g. an entire human genome can now be sequenced within a day, whereas using Sanger sequencing it took over a decade to deliver a final sequence for the human genome project. The application of this technology to virology allows rapid WGS, providing identification of genotypes/variants in samples. Noorovirus (NoV) contamination in oysters resulting from sewage pollution is a significant public health risk. NoV is genetically highly diverse, and over 40 different genotypes have been identified. The occurrence in the environment and the interaction with shellfish varies between genotypes. The project aim is to develop a better understanding of the occurrence and behaviour of genotypes in the environment, their association with sewage and shellfish, which will provide a better assessment of the risk associated with sewage-contaminated oysters.
