A novel virus in swine is closely related to the human hepatitis E virus.
A novel virus, designated swine hepatitis E virus (swine HEV), was identified in pigs. Swine HEV crossreacts with antibody to the human HEV capsid antigen. Swine HEV is a ubiquitous agent and the… Expand

Hepatitis E virus
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a positive‐stranded RNA virus with a 7.2 kb genome that is capped and polyadenylated. The virus is currently unclassified: the organisation of the genome resembles that of… Expand

A virus discovery method incorporating DNase treatment and its application to the identification of two bovine parvovirus species
Identification of previously unrecognized viral agents in serum or plasma samples is of great medical interest but remains a major challenge, primarily because of abundant host DNA. The current… Expand

Transcripts from a single full-length cDNA clone of hepatitis C virus are infectious when directly transfected into the liver of a chimpanzee.
We have succeeded in constructing a stable full-length cDNA clone of strain H77 (genotype 1a) of hepatitis C virus (HCV). We devised a cassette vector with fixed 5' and 3' termini and constructed… Expand

Prevalence of Antibodies to Hepatitis E Virus in Veterinarians Working with Swine and in Normal Blood Donors in the United States and Other Countries
ABSTRACT Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is endemic in many developing and some industrialized countries. It has been hypothesized that animals may be the source of infection. The recent identification of… Expand

Hepatitis E: an emerging awareness of an old disease.
Although hepatitis E was recognized as a new disease in 1980, the virus was first visualized in 1983 and its genome was cloned and characterized in 1991, the disease is probably ancient but not… Expand

A Bicistronic Subgenomic mRNA Encodes both the ORF2 and ORF3 Proteins of Hepatitis E Virus
ABSTRACT Hepatitis E virus replicons containing the neomycin resistance gene expressed from open reading frames (ORFs) 2 and 3 were transfected into Huh-7 cells, and stable cell lines containing… Expand

Consensus proposals for classification of the family Hepeviridae
The family Hepeviridae consists of positive-stranded RNA viruses that infect a wide range of mammalian species, as well as chickens and trout. A subset of these viruses infects humans and can cause a… Expand

Genetic and Experimental Evidence for Cross-Species Infection by Swine Hepatitis E Virus
ABSTRACT Prior to the recent discovery of the swine hepatitis E virus (swine HEV) in pigs from the midwestern United States, HEV was not considered endemic to this country. Since swine HEV is… Expand

Characterization of a prototype strain of hepatitis E virus.
A strain of hepatitis E virus (SAR-55) implicated in an epidemic of enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis, now called hepatitis E, was characterized extensively. Six cynomolgus monkeys… Expand
