| characterization of japanese swine and human hepatitis e virus isolates of genotype iv with 99 % identity over the entire genome. | the full-length genomic sequences were determined of japanese swine and human hepatitis e virus (hev) isolates (swj13-1 and he-ja1, respectively) with 100 % identity in the partial sequence of open reading frame (orf) 2 (orf2, 412 nt). swj13-1 was isolated from a 4-month-old farm pig born in hokkaido, japan, in 2002 and he-ja1 was recovered from a 55-year-old patient who lived in hokkaido and who had contracted sporadic acute hepatitis e in 1997. both isolates consisted of 7240 nt, excluding the ... | 2003 | 12692290 |
