Hepatitis E virus

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2003
AbstractHepatitis 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 the Caliciviridae but sequence analyses suggest it is more closely related to the Togaviridae.

Hepatitis E virus

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2006
AbstractHepatitis E virus (HEV) is the aetiological agent of non‐HAV enterically transmitted hepatitis. It is the major cause of sporadic as well as epidemic hepatitis, which is no longer confined to Asia and developing countries but has also become a concern of the developed nations.

Hepatitis E virus infection

Nursing Standard, 2013
Hepatitis resulting from viral infection is common worldwide and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Caused by a group of unrelated viruses that target the liver, hepatitis E virus is not well understood and is consequently often perceived in many countries as unimportant.

Hepatitis E virus

Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 2013
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is responsible for major outbreaks of acute hepatitis in developing countries where it was first described as a waterborne disease, transmitted by drinking water contaminated with feces. Attention was focused on HEV in developed countries and its associated diseases in recent years as a result of increasing reports of ...

Transmission of Hepatitis E Virus

2023
Transmission of hepatitis E virus (HEV) occurs predominantly by the fecal-oral route. Large epidemics of hepatitis E in the developing countries of Asia and Africa are waterborne and spread through contaminated drinking water. The reservoir of HEV in developed countries is believed to be in animals with zoonotic transmission to humans, possibly through

Hepatitis E Virus

2016
Since the sequence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) was determined from a patient with enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis in 1989, similar sequences have been isolated from many different animals, including pigs, wild boars, deer, rabbits, bats, rats, chicken, and trout.

Hepatitis E virus infection

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2017
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can lead to acute and chronic hepatitis as well as to extrahepatic manifestations such as neurological and renal disease; it is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. Four genotypes are responsible for most infection in humans, of which HEV genotypes 1 and 2 are obligate human pathogens and HEV ...

Hepatitis E virus in Cuba

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2000
The hepatitis E virus (HEV) has a global distribution and is known to have caused large waterborne epidemics of icteric hepatitis. The transmission is primarily fecal-oral. Some reports have suggested parenteral transmission of HEV from its association to hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, or due to the development of hepatitis E after blood ...

Puzzles for Hepatitis E Virus

2023
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important but understudied virus that has been the major cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. In recent decades, our understanding of this neglected virus has changed greatly: novel forms of viral proteins and their functions have been discovered; HEV can transmit via blood transfusion and organ transplantation; HEV ...

Hepatitis E virus in Indonesia

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1994
Abstract : Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been identified as a major cause of enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis (ET-NANBH) (BRADLEY, 1992). The geographical distribution of HEV transmission in south-east Asia is unknown, although transmission has been reported in Hong Kong (LOK et al., 1992), and HEV complementary deoxyribonucleic acid has ...
