Human and porcine hepatitis E virus strains, United Kingdom.
Veterinary Laboratories Agency, New Haw, Addlestone, Surrey, United Kingdom. m.banks@vla.defra.gsi.gov.uk
We describe a case of acquired infection of a strain of hepatitis E virus (HEV) with a 100% amino acid identity to the analogous region in strains of HEV circulating in a United Kingdom pig herd. This case further supports the theory that autochthonous HEV infection in industrialized countries is zoonotic.
