Detection of a novel hepatitis E-like virus in faeces of wild rats using a nested broad-spectrum RT-PCR

4 Nov 2009

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis E is a rare human disease in developed countries. It is caused by hepatitis E virus (HEV), which is probably transmitted zoonotically to humans from domestic pigs and wild boars. Multiple reports on the detection of HEV-specific antibodies in rats have suggested the presence of an HEV-related agent; however, infectious virus or a viral genome has not been demonstrated so far. Here, a nested...
