Prevalence and determinants of hepatitis C virus infection among female drug injecting sex workers in Glasgow [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Few studies of the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have focussed on women who work as street sex workers to finance their drug use. Methods: The investigators report the survey findings of such a population in Glasgow.

Mathematical models of e-antigen mediated immune tolerance and activation following prenatal HBV infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
We develop mathematical models for the role of hepatitis B e-antigen in creating immunological tolerance during hepatitis B virus infection and propose mechanisms for hepatitis B e-antigen clearance, subsequent emergence of a potent cellular immune ...

Overview of hepatitis E virus [PDF]

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2002
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an enterically transmitted virus usually presenting as an acute self-limiting disease. However, mortality increases dramatically from around 1% to 20% in pregnant women. HEV has been the cause of very large outbreaks of hepatitis in developing countries and is also responsible for a significant number of sporadic cases. It is

Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Travelers [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1999
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of clinical hepatitis in regions of endemicity, affecting primarily young adults and travelers to these areas. We present 5 cases of acute HEV infection in travelers and review 143 cases of HEV infection found by a literature search that were contracted in areas of endemicity. Fulminant hepatitis occurred in 2.7%

Experimental Infection of Rabbits with Rabbit and Genotypes 1 and 4 Hepatitis E Viruses

, 2010
Background: A recent study provided evidence that farmed rabbits in China harbor a novel hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype. Although the rabbit HEV isolate had 77-79% nucleotide identity to the mammalian HEV genotypes 1 to 4, their genomic organization is
