Abstract

Norovirus is one of the most important etiological agents of gastroenteritis (GE) and food-borne diarrhea in all age groups worldwide. Here we report five draft genomes of norovirus isolated from stool samples collected from under-five children presenting with GE in Malawi from 2012 to 2024.
