We describe a case of acquired infection of a strain of hepatitis E virus (HEV) with a 100% amino acid identity to the analogous region in strains of HEV circulating in a United Kingdom pig herd. This case further supports the theory that autochthonous HEV infection in industrialized countries is zoonotic.
我们描述了一例戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)毒株的获得性感染病例,该毒株与在英国猪群中传播的HEV毒株的类似区域具有100%的氨基酸同一性。该病例进一步支持了工业化国家本土HEV感染为人畜共患病的理论。
