Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E virus is a primary cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. The present study attempts to assess the genetic variability and evolutionary divergence among HEV genotypes. A vaccine promising capsid-protein coding ORF-2 gene sequences of HEV was evaluated using phylogenetics, model-based population genetic methods and principal component analysis. The analyses unveiled nine distinct clusters as...
