Indian hepatitis E virus shows a major deletion in the small open reading frame.

TL;DR: The protein encoded by ORF3 does not appear to be useful for early serodiagnosis as a synthetic peptide deduced from the truncated OrF3 failed to show any demonstrable immunoreactivity against HEV-infected acute phase sera in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Transmissible agent in non-A, non-B hepatitis.

TL;DR: Hepatitis was transmitted by serum derived from patients with chronic as well as acute hepatitis, strongly suggesting a chronic carrier state for the agent responsible for non-A, non-B hepatitis.
