Consensus proposals for classification of the family Hepeviridae
The family Hepeviridae consists of positive-stranded RNA viruses that infect a wide range of mammalian species, as well as chickens and trout. A subset of these viruses infects humans and can cause a self-limiting acute hepatitis that may become chronic in immunosuppressed individuals. Current published descriptions of the taxonomical divisions within the family Hepeviridae are contradictory in...
متن کاملComparative-immunohistochemical study of the mammalian pituitary corticotrophs.
To investigate the distribution, shape and stainability of the ACTH cells from human, baboon, monkey, cat, dog, rat, mouse, hamster, guinea pig, white-toothed shrew, house musk shrew and mole pituitaries, adjacent tissue sections were immunostained with anti-porcine ACTH1-39 serum and with PAS-ironhematoxylin respectively. Mammalian ACTH cells display two separate morphological appearances :1) ...
متن کاملGeographical Distribution of Hepatitis E Virus Genotypes from Animals in China
Hepatitis E virus is a pathogen spread through the intestine and belongs to the hepevirus of the hepeviridae. HEV can mainly spread through the dung—the mouth way in the crowd, at the same time can be spread by animals. Research shows that many kinds of animals can be used as a natural reservoir of HEV. Judging from the molecular level, HEV is a non-enveloped single-strand RNA virus. It not onl...
متن کاملCreating animal models, why not use the Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis)?
The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis), a squirrel-like and rat-sized mammal, has a wide distribution in Southeast Asia, South and Southwest China and has many unique characteristics that make it suitable for use as an experimental animal. There have been many studies using the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) aimed at increasing our understanding of fundamental biological mechanisms ...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Hepatitis E Virus Infection, Rural Southern People’s Republic of China
Genotype 4 hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the dominant cause of hepatitis E in the People's Republic of China; swine are the principal reservoir. Our study was conducted in 8 rural communities of southern China, where families keep pigs near their homes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 23 of 24 concurrent virus isolates from this region are genotype 4 strains. Among the study populations, immunog...
