In-Host HEV Quasispecies Evolution Shows the Limits of Mutagenic Antiviral Treatments

Abstract excerpt

Here, we report the in-host hepatitis E virus (HEV) quasispecies evolution in a chronically infected patient who was treated with three different regimens of ribavirin (RBV) for nearly 6 years. Sequential plasma samples were collected at different time points and subjected to RNA extraction and deep sequencing using the MiSeq Illumina platforms. Specifically, we RT-PCR amplified a single amplicon from the core...
