Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E, caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV), is endemic in China. However, the molecular characteristics of HEV circulating in eastern China and the seroprevalence of HEV infection in eastern China are relatively unknown. In this study, 25 HEV strains, isolated from sporadic hepatitis E cases in eastern China, were sequenced in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase region and subjected to phylogenetic analysis....
