Avian hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been identified in chickens; however, only 4 complete or near-complete genomic sequences have been reported. We found that the near-complete genomic sequence of avian HEV in chickens from China shared the highest identity (98.3%) with avian HEV from Europe and belonged to avian HEV genotype 3.
禽戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)已在鸡中被鉴定;然而,仅有 4 个完整或近乎完整的基因组序列被报道。我们发现,来自中国鸡的禽 HEV 的近乎完整基因组序列与来自欧洲的禽 HEV 具有最高的同源性(98.3%),并属于禽 HEV 基因型 3。
