technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, in particular to a method for establishing a hepatitis E virus (HEV) chronic mouse model. Background technique
[0002] Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is a viral hepatitis pathogen transmitted through the intestinal tract, which can infect humans and various animals across species. HEV is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus with a genome length of approximately 7.3kb, consisting of three open reading frames (ORF1, ORF2, and ORF3). Current studies have found that HEV mainly has 8 genotypes (HEV-1~HEV-8), and the genotype 4 HEV strain (HEV-4) is mainly prevalent in China. It has been confirmed that the transmission route of HEV is mainly the fecal-oral route, and it can also be transmitted by other routes, such as blood transmission, contact transmission, vertical transmission and organ transplantation.
[0003] HEV infection is generally an acute self-limiting infection, and patients can recover on th...
