Earlier studies using immuno electron microscopy revealed that hepatitis e virus hev obtained from human fecal specimens was a nonenveloped icosahedral particle with indentations on the surface balayan et al 1983 bradley et al 1988 sreenivasan et al 1984particles purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation had a diameter of 320340 a bradley et al 1988. Hepatitis e has mainly a fecal oral transmission route that is similar to hepatitis a but the viruses are unrelated. Its genome is a single stranded rna molecule of positive strand polarity of 7478 bases.
Hepatitis e virus hev possesses many of the features of other positive stranded rna viruses but also adds hev specific nuances making its virushost interactions unique. Slow virus replication kinetics and fastidious growth conditions coupled with the historical lack of an efficient cell culture system to propagate the virus have left. Genotypes 1 and 2 have been found only in humans.
Hepatitis b virus a major worldwide infectious a. It is a type of viral hepatitis. Its genome is a single stranded rna molecule of positive strand polarity of 7478 bases.
