Abstract excerpt
Many HEV and HEV-like sequences have been reported during the last years, including isolates which may represent a number of potential new genera, new genotypes or new subtypes within the family Hepeviridae. Using the most common classification system, difficulties in the establishment of subtypes have been reported. Moreover the relevance of subtype classification for epidemiology can be questioned. In this...
