| hepatitis virus infections in poultry. | viral hepatitis in poultry is a complex disease syndrome caused by several viruses belonging to different families including avian hepatitis e virus (hev), duck hepatitis b virus (dhbv), duck hepatitis a virus (dhav-1, -2, -3), duck hepatitis virus types 2 and 3, fowl adenoviruses (fadv), and turkey hepatitis virus (thv). while these hepatitis viruses share the same target organ, the liver, they each possess unique clinical and biological features. in this article, we aim to review the common an ... | 2016 | 27610716 |
| a novel avian-like hepatitis e virus in wild aquatic bird, little egret (egretta garzetta), in hungary. | hepatitis e virus (hev), family hepeviridae, has public health concerns because of its zoonotic potential; however, the host species spectrum, animal to animal transmissions, the natural chain of hepevirus infections and the genetic diversity of hev in wildlife especially in birds are less known. using random amplification and next generation sequencing technology a genetically divergent avian hev was serendipitously identified in wild bird in hungary. hev rna was detected with high faecal viral ... | 2016 | 27876615 |
| consensus proposals for classification of the family hepeviridae. | the family hepeviridae consists of positive-stranded rna viruses that infect a wide range of mammalian species, as well as chickens and trout. a subset of these viruses infects humans and can cause a self-limiting acute hepatitis that may become chronic in immunosuppressed individuals. current published descriptions of the taxonomical divisions within the family hepeviridae are contradictory in relation to the assignment of species and genotypes. through analysis of existing sequence information ... | 2014 | 24989172 |
| spatial-temporal dynamics of hepatitis e virus infection in foxes (vulpes vulpes) in federal state of brandenburg, germany, 1993-2012. | hepatitis e virus (hev) is the main course for acute hepatitis in humans throughout the world. human associated genotypes 1 and 2 as well as zoonotic genotypes 3 and 4 are grouped in the species orthohepevirus a. in addition, a large variety of hev-related viruses has been found in vertebrates including carnivores, rats, bats, and chickens, which were classified in species orthohepevirus b-d. in 2015, partial genome sequences of a novel hepevirus were detected in feces of red foxes (vulpes vulpe ... | 2020 | 32082295 |
| avian hepatitis e virus: with the trend of genotypes and host expansion. | avian hepatitis e virus (hev) is a single-stranded, positive-sense rna virus with a complete genome of approximately 6.6 kb in size. to date, four major genotypes of avian hev have been identified and classified into the orthohepevirus b genus of the family hepeviridae. the avian hev associated with hepatitis-splenomegaly syndrome, big liver and spleen disease or hepatic rupture hemorrhage syndrome in chickens is genetically and antigenically related to mammalian hev. with the increased genotype ... | 2019 | 31396195 |
