Overview
Taxonomy
Viruses; ssRNA viruses; ssRNA positive-strand viruses; Hepeviridae; Hepevirus; Hepatitis E virus[1]
Biology
 |
The viral particles are 27 to 34 nanometers in diameter, are non-enveloped and contain a single-strand of positive-sense RNA that is approximately 7200 bases in length, polyadenylated at the 3' terminus, and capped at the 5'terminus.[3][4][5]
The genome of HEV contains 3 Open Reading Frames:
- ORF2 - contains de protein of the viral capsid, responsible for:
- Viral assembly[6]
- Target cell interaction[7]
- Immunogenicity[8]
- ORF3 -

Natural Reservoir
The natural reservoir of HEV is yet to be identified. Different observations have suggested different reservoirs:
- Prolonged fecal shedding from patients with history of the disease has been suggested. However, the duration of viral shedding in feces is not compatible with this hypothesis.[9]
- Continuous fecal shedding from asymptomatic patients was suggested as a form of maintenance of the virus, contaminating water supplies.[11]
- The existence of an animal reservoir is supported by the detection of anti-HEV antibodies in different species.[11]
