Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a public health concern because of its zoonotic potential; however, the host species spectrum and the genetic diversity of HEV in many birds are unknown. In the present study, a novel genotype avian HEV was isolated from a bird, silkie fowl, and designated CHN-GS-aHEV (GenBank No. MN562265). The genome of CHN-GS-aHEV was analyzed in comparison with other avian HEVs' and the...
