Epidemiology, diagnosis, vaccines, and bibliometric analysis of the 100 top-cited studies on Hepatitis E virus

TLDR
The information presented would be very useful in decision making for policy makers providing health care, and for academicians in providing a reference point for future research.
Abstract
In low-income countries, Hepatitis E infection is a common cause of acute hepatitis. So far, only two recombinant vaccines (rHEV and HEV 239) have been developed against Hepatitis E virus (HEV). Of...

Trends in hepatitis A research indexed in the Web of Science: a bibliometric analysis over the period from 1985 to 2019.

TL;DR: A bibliometric analysis was conducted to build an all-inclusive view of the status of research on hepatitis A virus (HAV) for facilitating researchers, health professionals, and policymakers to und... as mentioned in this paper.

Sociocultural, behavioural and political factors shaping the COVID-19 pandemic: the need for a biocultural approach to understanding pandemics and (re)emerging pathogens.

TL;DR: It is argued that a biocultural perspective on infectious disease pandemics will allow for critical reflection on how culture shapes the authors' behaviours at all levels, and how the effects of these behaviours are ultimately foundational to pathogen ecology and evolution.

Immune dysfunction in uremia

TL;DR: It is shown that free immunoglobulin light chains per se are able to interfere with essential PMNL functions, and p-cresol was identified as a uremic solute that impairs the respiratory burst activity of PMNL.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV): molecular cloning and sequencing of the full-length viral genome.

TL;DR: Findings on the genetic organization and expression strategy of HEV suggest that it is the prototype human pathogen for a new class of RNA virus or perhaps a separate genus within the Caliciviridae family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for a virus in non-A, non-B hepatitis transmitted via the fecal-oral route.

TL;DR: Intravenous inoculation of cynomolgus monkeys with the virus-containing stool extract resulted in histopathologically and enzymatically confirmed hepatitis, excretion of virus-like particles, and antibody response to them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of an epidemic of non-A, non-B, hepatitis. Possibility of another human hepatitis virus distinct from post-transfusion non-A, non-B type.

TL;DR: The data strongly suggest the possibility of another human hepatitis virus and established the fecal oral route of its spread.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis E: an emerging infection in developed countries

TL;DR: Patients with unexplained hepatitis should be tested for hepatitis E, whatever their age or travel history, and the source and route of infection remain uncertain, but it might be a porcine zoonosis.
