Hepatitis E Virus Immunopathogenesis [PDF]
Hepatitis E virus is an important emerging pathogen producing a lethal impact on the pregnant population and immunocompromised patients. Starting in 1983, it has been described as the cause for acute hepatitis transmitted via the fecal–oral route. However, zoonotic and blood transfusion transmission of HEV have been reported in the past few decades ...

Hepatitis E: Genotypes, strategies to prevent and manage, and the existing knowledge gaps
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is considered an emergent source of viral hepatitis worldwide, with an increasing burden of jaundice, liver failure, extrahepatic illnesses, and deaths in developed countries. With the scarcity of data from efficient animal models,

The Foodborne Transmission of Hepatitis E Virus to Humans
Globally, Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes over 20 million cases worldwide. HEV is an emerging and endemic pathogen within economically developed countries, chiefly resulting from infections with genotype 3 (G3) HEV.

Hepatitis E Virus: How It Escapes Host Innate Immunity
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a leading cause of viral hepatitis in the world. It is usually responsible for acute hepatitis, but can lead to a chronic infection in immunocompromised patients.

Update: proposed reference sequences for subtypes of hepatitis E virus (species Orthohepevirus A)
In this recommendation, we update our 2016 table of reference sequences of subtypes of hepatitis E virus (HEV; species Orthohepevirus A, family Hepeviridae) for which complete genome sequences are available (Smith et al., 2016).

The global epidemiology of hepatitis E virus infection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), as an emerging zoonotic pathogen, is a leading cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide, with a high risk of developing chronic infection in immunocompromised patients.

Insertions and Duplications in the Polyproline Region of the Hepatitis E Virus
Recombinant strains of hepatitis E virus (HEV) with insertions of human genomic fragments or HEV sequence duplications in the sequence encoding the polyproline region (PPR) were previously described in chronically infected patients.
