Whole Genome Sequencing Characterization of HEV3-<i>e</i> and HEV3-<i>f</i> Subtypes among the Wild Boar Population in the Abruzzo Region, Italy: First Report

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emergent zoonotic pathogen, causing worldwide acute and chronic hepatitis in humans. HEV comprises eight genotypes and several subtypes. HEV genotypes 3 and 4 (HEV3 and HEV4) are zoonotic. In Italy, the most part of HEV infections (80%) is due to autochthonous HEV3 circ...
