Abstract
We concluded that P2 domain variation increases with duration of virus shedding, but was unrelated to total amounts of virus shed. Therefore, we propose that cluster identification based on identical sequences should be relaxed to accommodate minor sequence variation. When using sequence data to support outbreak investigations, sequence diversity should be interpreted in relation to timing of sampling since onset of illness.
