Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genotypes of hepatitis E viruses (HEV) detected in sera of patients from different regions of China. METHODS: The partial genome (nt6461-6860, nt5994-6294) of open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of 45 HEV strains detected from 14 cities of China was amplified and sequenced using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. RESULTS: Forty-one of 45 strains (91%) share the same...
