Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. RNA viruses like HEV can establish viral populations with high intra-host variability, enabling them to rapidly adapt to changing immune responses, as observed in chronic infections. This study aimed to investigate how intra-host evolution shapes HEV populations during acute asymptomatic infection. Using a highly sensitive...
