Abstract

Clinical features of outbreaks caused by different genotypes circulating in Spain, including outbreaks caused by GII.4 2012 and GII.4 2009 strains, were comparable. Although shed at similar levels than GII.4 2009 strains, GII.4 2012 strains have clearly replaced the previous predominant strain.
