About the Book

This book written by Youchun Wang, offers a systematic and comprehensive discussion of the biological, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of the hepatitis E virus (HEV). The book portrays current knowledge of HEV and explores experimental methods, treatment, and prevention of the virus. HEV, the causative agent of hepatitis E, was first identified in the 1980s and cloned in 1990. The virus mainly occurs in developing regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa and significantly affects the health of the people in these areas. The virus, which is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, can infect both humans and animals, and it is estimated that up to a third of the world’s population has been infected with HEV.

The second edition of this book features new chapters added to demonstrate the lifecycle, morphogenesis, and stem cell culture of hepatitis E virus. Although there has been progress in the research of hepatitis E virus, there are still some problems that have not been resolved. The second edition addresses these problems and would be helpful for researchers to understand the problems they face concerning hepatitis E virus. In addition to the new content, the book covers updated information on epidemiology, transmission, genetic evolution, animal models, and treatment, among others.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers and individuals in the pharmaceutical industry developing HEV vaccines, as well as physicians dealing with the identification and management of patients infected with the virus.
