Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the leading causes of the enteric-transmitted acute hepatitis. Many studies have found high identities between human and animal HEV isolates using partial sequence comparison analysis. AIMS: To determine and phylogenetically analyse the complete genome of the swGX40 isolate from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. METHODS: The overlapping fragments of HEV isolate...
