Abstract excerpt
A unique European-type HEV strain (HE-JA12-0725) classifiable into subgenotype 3f was recovered from a 66-year-old Japanese female with autochthonous acute hepatitis E, and its entire genomic sequence was determined and characterized. The HE-JA12-0725 strain shared the highest identity of 92.7% with a Spanish swine isolate (EU723514) over the entire genome and possessed a long hypervariable region sequence of 111...
