Comparison of real-time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction and nested or commercial reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction for the detection of hepatitis E virus particle in human serum

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) was originally identified as the causative agent of enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis. The virus is the 7.5-kb single-stranded positive RNA virus and has been classified in the genus Herpesvirus of the family Herpesviridae. Recently, HEVs were identified from sev...
