摘要: Full-length genomic sequences of hepatitis E virus (HEV) obtained from two consecutive cases acute self-limiting in a city northeast Japan were determined. Interestingly, HEV isolates each patient shared nucleotide identity 99.97% 7 225 nucleotides, and phylogenetic analysis showed that they formed cluster Japanese is considered as new subtype 3k. The high similarity these patients this study suggested 3k strain had spread via commonly distributed food the city, possibly pig liver.
