Hepatitis E: an overview.

Harald C Worm1, Wim H M van der Poel, Gerald Brandstätter.   

Abstract

The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a non-enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus with icosahedral symmetry. Although it is related to the alpha-virus superfamily, the HEV is classified as a separate Hepatitis E-like viruses genus. Infection in humans occurs in sporadic and epidemic forms and can cause an acute, self-limited, icteric hepatitis. Recent studies indicate the existence of a reservoir in animals.
