Pathogenesis and Cross-species Infection of Hepatitis E Virus
… 3 and 4 infect humans and several other animal species including pigs and rabbits. An ever-expanding host range of genetically-diversified strains of HEV now include bat, fish, rat, ferret, moose, wild boar, mongoose, deer, and camel. Additionally, the ruminant species goats, sheep, and cattle …

Cross-Species Infection and Characterization of Avian Hepatitis E Virus
… direct contact with inoculated ones. Avian HEV infection in chickens was found to be dose-dependent. To determine if avian HEV can infect across species, one-week old SPF turkeys were intravenously inoculated each with 10<sup>4.5</sup>(CID₅₀) of avian HEV. The inoculated turkeys seroconverted to …

Foodborne Transmission and Molecular Mechanism of Cross-species Infection of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV)
… 4 human HEV. All pigs developed an active HEV infection indicating that genotype 4 human HEVs can cross species barriers and infect pigs. To identify viral determinant(s) of species tropism, ORF2 alone or in combination with its adjacent 5′ junction region (JR) and 3′ non-coding region (NCR), …

Discovery of Novel Strains of Animal Hepatitis E Viruses in the United States: Antigenic and Genetic Characterization, Cross-Species Infection, and Public Health Implications
… pathogen, with pigs and likely other animal species serving as natural reservoirs. There are currently four recognized HEV genotypes that infect humans within the genus Hepevirus of the family Hepeviridae. Genotypes 1 and 2 are human viruses that are associated with waterborne and fecal-oral …

Molecular Characterization of Animal Strains of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV): Avian HEV and Swine HEV
… to study HEV replication, pathogenesis and cross-species infection. The objectives of this dissertation were to genetically characterize both avian HEV and swine HEV, to determine their serological and molecular epidemiology in the United States, to assess the ability of avian HEV …

Complete Genome Sequence and Pathogenicity of Two Swine Parainfluenzaviruses Isolated from Pigs in the United States
… RNA viruses. A large and diverse host species are infected by paramyxoviruses, including avian, porcine, canine, bovine, equine, ovine, reptiles, aquatic species and humans. In the last few decades, many novel paramyxoviruses have emerged causing catastrophic illnesses in different …
