Detection of noroviruses in free-ranging jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil

Nine free-ranging jaguars ( Panthera onca ) were captured, and rectal swabs were collected in the Pantanal of Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction specific for noroviruses was performed. Six jaguars (66.6%) tested positive for norovirus genotype GII.11.
