Abstract excerpt
We identified hepatitis E virus (HEV) RNA in serum from a Japanese patient with acute hepatitis, who had never been abroad. The full-genome nucleotide sequence of the HEV isolate (JRA1) from this patient was composed of 7227 nucleotides excepting the poly(A) tail and had ORF1 coding for 1703 amino acids (aa), ORF2 coding for 660 aa, and ORF3 coding for 122 aa. This Japanese strain showed approximately 87%...
