Consensus proposals for classification of the family Hepeviridae
D B Smith,Peter Simmonds,Shahid Jameel,Suzanne U. Emerson,Tim J. Harrison,Xiang-Jin Meng,Hiroaki Okamoto,Wim H.M. van der Poel,Michael A. Purdy +8 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a taxonomic scheme in which the family Hepeviridae is divided into the genera Orthohepevirus (all mammalian and avian hepatitis E virus (HEV) isolates) and PiscihepeVirus (cutthroat trout virus), and proposals are made for the designation of genotypes within the human and rat HEVs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposed reference sequences for hepatitis E virus subtypes
B. Douglas Smith,Peter Simmonds,Jacques Izopet,Edmilson Ferreira de Oliveira-Filho,Rainer G. Ulrich,Reimar Johne,Matthias Koenig,Shahid Jameel,Tim J. Harrison,Xiang-Jin Meng,Hiroaki Okamoto,Wim H.M. van der Poel,Michael A. Purdy +12 more
TL;DR: A table of proposed complete genome reference sequences for each hepatitis E virus subtype is provided to facilitate communication between researchers and help clarify the epidemiology of this important human pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel genotype of hepatitis E virus prevalent among farmed rabbits in China.
Chenyan Zhao,Zhongren Ma,Tim J. Harrison,Feng Ruofei,Chuntao Zhang,Zilin Qiao,Jinping Fan,Hongxia Ma,Mingsheng Li,Aijing Song,Youchun Wang +10 more
TL;DR: The sequences isolated from the rabbits represent a novel genotype of HEV, providing novel information about HEV genotypes infecting rabbits as well as evidence of a new mammalian genotypeof HEV.
Journal ArticleDOI
A divergent genotype of hepatitis E virus in Chinese patients with acute hepatitis
Youchun Wang,Roger Ling,James C. Erker,Huayuan Zhang,Hemin Li,Suresh M. Desai,Isa K. Mushahwar,Tim J. Harrison +7 more
TL;DR: A novel variant of HEV, referred to here as the Chinese genotype (genotype 4), may be responsible for a significant proportion of cases of acute hepatitis in China, as seen by the fact that 40% of the HEV-infected patients in this study were genotype 4 positive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non–Travel-Associated Hepatitis E in England and Wales: Demographic, Clinical, and Molecular Epidemiological Characteristics
Samreen Ijaz,Eve Arnold,Malcolm Banks,Richard P. Bendall,Matthew E. Cramp,R. Cunningham,Harry R. Dalton,Tim J. Harrison,Simon Hill,Lorna MacFarlane,Rolf Meigh,Shuja Shafi,Martin J. Sheppard,Jacquie Smithson,Melanie P. Wilson,Chong Gee Teo +15 more
TL;DR: Patients infected by HEV indigenous to England and Wales tended to belong to a distinct demographic group, there were multiple sources of infection, and pigs might have been a viral reservoir.
