Overview

Taxonomy

Viruses; ssRNA viruses; ssRNA positive-strand viruses; Hepeviridae; Hepevirus; Hepatitis E virus[1]

Biology

Hepatitis E virus Courtesy: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[2]

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:

  • ORF1 - contains functional motifs and non-structural protein domains, including:[3]
  • ORF2 - contains de protein of the viral capsid, responsible for:
  • Viral assembly[6]
  • Target cell interaction[7]
  • Immunogenicity[8]
  • ORF3 -

Life Cycle

Genotypes

Tropism

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]
  • Environmental reservoir was suggested following detection of HEV in sewages.[10]
  • 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]
