Hepatitis E virus genotype 3 (HEV-3) is the causal pathogen of chronic hepatitis E. We report here the full-length genome sequence of an HEV-3 strain, isolated from a kidney transplant recipient in Switzerland (SW/16-0282). This HEV-3 strain showed less than 88% homology compared to known strains, suggesting a new HEV-3 strain.
戊型肝炎病毒3型(HEV-3)是慢性戊型肝炎的致病病原体。我们在此报告从瑞士一名肾移植受者(SW/16-0282)分离出的一株HEV-3毒株的全长基因组序列。与已知毒株相比,该HEV-3毒株的同源性低于88%,提示这是一种新的HEV-3毒株。
