First Directly Sequenced Genome of Hepatitis E Virus from the Serum of a Patient from the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 is endemic in the United Kingdom but the complete sequence of HEV, generated directly from a clinical sample, is lacking. We report a near full-length genome sequence of genotype 3 HEV from the serum of a patient with acute hepatitis.
