Abstract excerpt
In addition to the four major genotypes (G1 through G4) known for human hepatitis E virus (HEV), two new genotypes (G5 and G6) were suggested, based on unique viral nucleotide sequences derived from wild boars in Japan. It has been unknown whether the virus of these new genotypes can cause hepatitis in humans; neither G5 nor G6 HEV has been found in patients to date. To study the antigenic properties of G5 and G6...
