Cross-species transmission and histopathological variation in specific-pathogen-free minipigs infected with different hepatitis E virus strains

Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of viral hepatitis worldwide.Pigs are the natural host of HEV genotype 3 and the main reservoir of HEV.As the host range of HEV genotype 3 expands, the possibility that HEV from various species can be transmitted to humans via pigs is increasing.We investigated the potential cross-species transmissi
