Molecular Characterization of Animal Strains of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV): Avian HEV and Swine HEV
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, is an important public health concern in many developing countries. It mainly infects young adults and has a mortality of up to 25% in pregnant women. Although hepatitis E is only sporadic in industrialized countries including the United …

Molecular and Serological Epidemiology of Swine Hepatitis E Virus from Pigs in Two Countries
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, is endemic in many developing countries. However, sporadic cases of acute hepatitis E have also been reported in industrialized countries including the United States. Increasing evidence suggested that hepatitis E is zoonotic. Swine HEV …

Cross-Species Infection and Characterization of Avian Hepatitis E Virus
As novel or variant strains of HEV continue to evolve rapidly both in humans and other animals, it is important to develop a rapid pre-sequencing screening method to select field isolates for further molecular characterization. Two heteroduplex mobility assays (HMA) were developed to genetically …

Cross-protection and Potential Animal Reservoir of the Hepatitis E Virus
HEV is an important public health concern due largely to water-borne outbreak. Recent research confirms individual cases of zoonotic transmission due to human exposure to contaminated animal meats. At least four recognized and two putative genotypes of mammalian HEV have been reported: genotypes 1 …

Evidence of Extrahepatic Sites of Replication of the Hepatitis E Virus in a Swine Model
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the major cause of enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis in many developing countries, and is also endemic in many industrialized countries. Due to the lack of an effective cell culture system and a practical animal model, the mechanisms of HEV pathogenesis and …

Understanding the Role of the Hypervariable Region in the Open Reading Frame 1 of the Hepatitis E virus in Viral Replication
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of enterically transmitted acute viral hepatitis in developing countries that lack proper hygienic infrastructure. Hepatitis E is globally distributed and has emerged as an important public health disease in both developing and industrialized countries. HEV …

Foodborne Transmission and Molecular Mechanism of Cross-species Infection of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV)
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, is an emerging virus of global distribution. At least four distinct genotypes of HEV exist worldwide: genotype 1 and 2 HEV strains are responsible for waterborne epidemics; genotype 3 and 4 HEV strains are responsible for sporadic …

L'epatite E nei suidi: epidemiologia, diagnosi e filogenesi
… The aetiological agent is the Hepatitis E virus (HEV). The disease represents an important Public Health problem in developing countries where is frequently epidemic and primarily transmitted by fecal-oral route. In the last few years, a certain number of sporadic cases have been also described in …
