Update: proposed reference sequences for subtypes of hepatitis E virus (species Orthohepevirus A).

摘要: In this recommendation, we update our 2016 table of reference sequences subtypes hepatitis E virus (HEV; species Orthohepevirus A, family Hepeviridae) for which complete genome are available (Smith et al., 2016). This takes into account subsequent publications describing novel viruses and additional proposals subtype names; there now eight genotypes 36 subtypes. Although it remains difficult to define strict criteria distinguishing between subtypes, is not within the remit International Committee on Taxonomy Viruses (ICTV), use agreed will bring clarity stability researchers, epidemiologists clinicians working with HEV.
