Isolation, detection and characterization of swine hepatitis E virus from herds in Costa Rica.

International journal of environmental health research - 1 Jun 2008

Kase Julie A, Correa Maria T, Luna Carlos, Sobsey Mark D

Abstract excerpt

Although swine HEV isolates from North America, Europe, and Asia have been genetically characterized, little is known about the strains presumed to be circulating in Latin America. In this study, seven commercial swine production sites in Costa Rica were surveyed for HEV. Using RT-PCR, with primers located in ORF2, 19/52 fecal samples produced a product of the expected size following two rounds of amplification....
