Tracing the History of Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Mexico: From the Enigmatic Genotype 2 to the Current Disease Situation

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the major cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. This virus is responsible for waterborne outbreaks in low-income countries and zoonosis transmission in industrialized regions.

Conversion of hepatitis B virus relaxed circular to covalently closed circular DNA is supported in murine cells

open access: yesJHEP Reports, 2022
Background & Aims: HBV has a narrow host restriction, with humans and chimpanzees representing the only known natural hosts. The molecular correlates of resistance in species that are commonly used in biomedical research, such as mice, are currently ...

Animal Models for the Study of Hepatitis B Virus Pathobiology and Immunity: Past, Present, and Future

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem that plagues approximately 240 million people. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) often leads to liver inflammation and aberrant repair which results in diseases ranging from liver fibrosis ...

New animal models for hepatitis C viral infection and pathogenesis studies [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In man, the pathobiological changes associated with HCV infection have been attributed to both the immune system and direct viral cytopathic effects.

The Hepatitis E Virus Open Reading Frame 2 Protein: Beyond Viral Capsid

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic pathogen causing hepatitis in both human and animal hosts, which is responsible for acute hepatitis E outbreaks worldwide. The 7.2 kb genome of the HEV encodes three well-defined open reading frames (ORFs), where the

Experimental Viral Hepatitis in the Dog: Production of Persistent Disease in Partially Immune Animals* [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 1967
Experimental infection with canine hepatitis virus has been studied in a series of 49 dogs. The pattern of response to infection was distinctly modified by the immune status of the animal. All of 19 fully susceptible dogs had an acute, fulminating fatal hepatitis when infected with a standard dose of virus, and all of 19 dogs with high levels of ...

Infectious canine hepatitis: animal model for viral-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation [PDF]

open access: yesBlood, 1976
The objective of this study was to characterize the hemostatic defect in dogs with infectious canine hepatitis (ICH), a naturally occurring viral disease of dogs. Five littermate dogs were inoculated with 10(3) TCID50 of ICH virus intravenously. Two littermates were controls. The clinicopathologic manifestations of ICH were fever, depression, anorexia,
