ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: 2022 Open Access

This article is part of the ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profiles collection.

Abstract

The family includes enterically transmitted small quasi-enveloped or non-enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses infecting mammals and birds (subfamily ) or fish (). Hepatitis E virus (genus ) is responsible for self-limiting acute hepatitis in humans; the infection may become chronic in immunocompromised individuals and extrahepatic manifestations have been described. Avian hepatitis E virus (genus ) causes hepatitis–splenomegaly syndrome in chickens. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family , which is available at www.ictv.global/report/hepeviridae.
