Transmission of hepatitis E virus
Veterinary Record, 2007SIR, — Hepatitis E caused by the enterically transmitted hepatitis E virus (hev) is a major public health problem in many developing regions of the world. There is now a substantial body of direct and indirect evidence, emerging from autochthonously acquired cases of hepatitis E in ...

Xenotransplantation and Hepatitis E virus
Xenotransplantation, 2015AbstractXenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues and organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine microorganisms to the human recipient. Some of these microorganisms may induce a zoonosis, that is an infectious disease induced by microorganisms transmitted from another species.

Transmission of Hepatitis E Virus
2016Transmission 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

Morphogenesis of Hepatitis E Virus
2023Hepatitis E virus, a leading cause of acute hepatitis worldwide, has been recognized as non-enveloped virus since its discovery in the 1980s. However, the recent identification of lipid membrane-associated form termed as "quasi-enveloped" HEV has changed this long-held notion.

An Update on the Hepatitis E Virus
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2013There have been recent key advances in the understanding of hepatitis E virus infection. Since the early 1980s, when the virus was first discovered, hepatitis E has been described as a disease that is endemic only in the African and Asian subcontinents, a disease that is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, and a disease that causes an acute illness ...

Hepatitis E: the forgotten virus
Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 2013Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has a long military association being first discovered during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s after an outbreak of unexplained hepatitis at a military camp. HEV is now endemic in the UK, and should be considered in all cases of jaundice. The prevalence is high in certain operational areas (28.5% in Afghanistan),

Treatment of hepatitis E virus
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2016Purpose of review Over the last 10 years, it has become apparent that hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a pathogen of global significance. In contrast to HEV in the developing world, HEV in developed countries is caused by HEV genotypes 3 and 4, which are enzoonotic with a porcine primary host and cause both acute and chronic ...

Hepatitis E virus transmission to a volunteer
The Lancet, 1993Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes an enteric non-A, non-B hepatitis. The disease occurs in epidemic settings and sporadically, and viral transmission is thought to be faecal-oral. We present here a single volunteer study of HEV transmission followed by disease.

Immunopathogenesis of Hepatitis E Virus Infection
Seminars in Liver Disease, 2013The course of hepatitis E virus infection (HEV) can vary substantially between different individuals. Although most infections take a clinically silent asymptomatic course, a few patients may develop severe hepatitis that can progress to fulminant hepatic failure.

The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a cause of severe liver disease in humans, especially in developing countries. Several assays are available to detect the HEV genome and specific antibodies against HEV (anti-IgG, IgA and IgM). Different serological patterns enable the diagnostician to differentiate remote from recent infections.
