Abstract excerpt
Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with primers derived from well-conserved genomic areas among all four hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotypes (I-IV), the HEV sequence was identified in serum samples obtained from 3 (3%) out of 95 60- to 90-day-old pigs in Japan and characterized molecularly. In the partial sequence of open reading frame (ORF) 2 of 421 nucleotides, the three swine isolates (swJ570,...
