中东骆驼中发现新型戊型肝炎病毒基因型。

In a molecular epidemiology study of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in dromedaries in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, HEV was detected in fecal samples from 3 camels. Complete genome sequencing of 2 strains showed >20% overall nucleotide difference to known HEVs. Comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses revealed a previously unrecognized HEV genotype.

在阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜对单峰骆驼进行的一项戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）分子流行病学研究中，在3头骆驼的粪便样本中检测到了HEV。对2个毒株进行的全基因组测序显示，与已知的HEV相比，总体核苷酸差异>20%。比较基因组和系统发育分析揭示了一种以前未被识别的HEV基因型。
