2 Figure 1 (A) Genomic organization of HEV including the 3 ORFs. The scale shows nucleotides in thousands. (B) Phylogenetic tree depicting different genotypes and subtypes of HEV. The sequences from patients with chronic HEV genotype 3 infection are shown as a separate phylogenetic tree (right). Red squares show chronic HEV patients from Hannover after either heart (HTx) or lung (LTx) transplantation.66 Gastroenterology  , e1DOI: ( /j.gastro ) Copyright © 2012 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
