Genotype distribution and sequence variation of hepatitis E virus, Hong Kong.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 May 2009

Lam Wai Yip, Chan Rickjason C W, Sung Joseph J Y, Chan Paul K S

Abstract excerpt

Most acute cases of infection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) in Hong Kong were autochthonous, sporadic, and occurred in older adults. All except 1 isolate belonged to genotype 4; most were phylogenetically related to swine isolates. The epidemiology is similar to that in industrialized countries, where zoonosis is the major source of HEV infection in humans.
