| prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis e virus among apparently healthy humans and pigs in bali, indonesia: identification of a pig infected with a genotype 4 hepatitis e virus. | in indonesia where hepatitis e virus (hev) is believed to be highly endemic, only three outbreaks of hev transmission have been documented to date in restricted areas (west kalimantan and east java). a total of 1,115 serum samples collected from apparently healthy individuals in bali, lombok, and surabaya in indonesia in 1996 where epidemic hev transmissions have never been reported, were tested for igg class antibodies to hev (anti-hev). in bali, anti-hev was detected in 20% (54/276) of the tes ... | 2004 | 15042646 |
| serological markers of hepatitis b, c, and e viruses and human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infections in pregnant women in bali, indonesia. | except for hepatitis b virus (hbv), there have been few data on serological markers of hepatitis viruses such as hepatitis c virus (hcv) and e virus (hev), and human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (hiv) in bali, indonesia. during 5 months from april to august 2003, sera were collected from 2,450 pregnant women at eight jurisdictions in bali, and they were tested for markers of these viruses. only one (0.04%) was positive for antibody to hcv, but none for antibody to hiv. hepatitis b surface antig ... | 2005 | 15714491 |
| identification of genotype 4 hepatitis e virus strains from a patient with acute hepatitis e and farm pigs in bali, indonesia. | a previous study revealed that antibodies to hepatitis e virus (hev) (anti-hev) are highly prevalent among healthy individuals and farm pigs in bali, indonesia, and suggested that hev infection may occur via zoonosis among balinese people. however, there were no reports of acute hepatitis e in bali. to elucidate whether balinese hev strains recovered from infected humans and pigs have significant sequence similarity, serum samples obtained from 57 patients (age, mean +/- standard deviation, 31.1 ... | 2007 | 17596841 |
| prevalence of hepatitis e virus among swine and humans in two different ethnic communities in indonesia. | the purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis e virus (hev) infection in swine and humans in different environments in java and bali, indonesia. the prevalence of anti-hev antibodies in people over 20 years old living in communities in bali was significantly higher than that in java. while 68.8% and 90.0% of swine in bali were anti-hev positive at 1 and 2 months of age, respectively, swine in java were at significantly lower risk of hev infection by the age of 2 months ... | 2010 | 21191625 |
| hepatitis e virus infection in two different regions of indonesia with identification of swine hev genotype 3. | hepatitis e is an emerging disease with a high incidence globally. few data are available on hepatitis e virus (hev) infection in indonesia. to obtain molecular information on hev infection in two regions of indonesia with different customs and swine breeding conditions, serum samples from 137 swine farm workers, 100 blood donors and 100 swine (27 fecal samples also obtained) in yogyakarta (central java) and from 12 and 64 swine farm workers, 42 and 135 local residents and 89 and 119 swine in tu ... | 2013 | 23865729 |
