“…Using short HEV ORF2 fragments may therefore generate misclassification. HEV 3i has been identified in five countries (Austria, Argentina, Bolivia, Germany, and Uruguay) and from various hosts, including humans (3,14,17), wild boars (12,13), and swine (11,17). HEV sequences from strains wbGER27 (FJ705359) and BB02 (FJ998008), which were recovered from wild boars in Germany, were fully sequenced and considered the first HEV 3i genomes (12,13).…”
