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 - encodes functional motifs and non-structural protein domains, including:[3]
  • ORF2 - encodes de protein of the viral capsid, responsible for:

In order to study the biology of the virus and develop new treatment drugs, HEV must be grown in culture systems, such as:

  • PLC/PRF/5 cell line of hepatic carcinoma, A549 cell line of lung carcinoma, and fecal samples from an infected patient[11]
  • HepG2/C3A cell line of hepatoma[12]

Genotypes

Molecular studies of HEV lead to the classification of the virus into 4 genotypes:[3][13]

Genotypes
Genotype Symptoms
HEV1
  • Restricted to humans
  • Water-borne disease in developing countries
  • Predominant in Asia
HEV2
  • Restricted to humans
  • Water-borne disease in developing countries
  • Predominant in Mexico and Africa
HEV3
  • Infects humans and other mammalian species, such as pigs
  • Responsible for autochthonous hepatitis E in developed and developing countries
HEV4

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.[14]
  • Environmental reservoir was suggested following detection of HEV in sewages.[15]
  • Continuous fecal shedding from asymptomatic patients was suggested as a form of maintenance of the virus, contaminating water supplies.[16]
  • The existence of an animal reservoir is supported by the detection of anti-HEV antibodies in different species.[16]
