Hepatitis E Virus (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 1417), 2nd Edition
By Youchun Wang
By Youchun Wang
This book systematically and comprehensively discusses the biological, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of the hepatitis E virus (HEV). It presents current knowledge of HEV and explores experimental methods, treatment, and prevention of HEV. First identified in the 1980s and cloned in 1990, HEV is the causative agent of hepatitis E, which 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. It is estimated that a third of the world’s population has been infected with HEV, which is transmitted via the fecal-oral route and can infect both humans and animals.
In the second edition, new chapters are added to demonstrate the lifecycle, morphogenesis, and stem cell culture of hepatitis E virus. Although research on the hepatitis E virus has made progress recently, there are still some problems that have not been solved. These problems are discussed in this edition, which would be helpful for researchers to understand the issues they have faced regarding the hepatitis E virus. Additionally, the epidemiology, transmission, genetic evolution, animal models, treatment, and other related topics in the first version have been updated according to the most recent research progress.
The book provides an overview of HEV from benchside to bedside. It is a valuable resource for researchers in the field and those in the pharmaceutical industry developing HEV vaccines, as well as physicians involved in identifying and treating those infected with the virus.
The second edition of “Hepatitis E Virus: Methods and Protocols” delves into the various aspects of the HEV, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the virus and its impact on global health. Authored by Youchun Wang, an expert in the field, this book serves as an essential resource for researchers, medical professionals, and individuals interested in gaining insights into the hepatitis E virus.
An In-Depth Exploration of HEV
Before the discovery of the hepatitis E virus, the cause of hepatitis E remained unknown. However, with advancements in technology and research, scientists were able to identify and clone the virus, paving the way for further investigations into its biological, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics. In the second edition of this book, Youchun Wang delves deeper into the virus, shedding light on its lifecycle, morphogenesis, and stem cell culture.
The book begins with an overview of HEV, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the virus and its impact on human health. Wang discusses the transmission of HEV, which occurs through the fecal-oral route, making it highly prevalent in developing regions. The book also explores the genetic evolution of the virus, shedding light on the changes and adaptations that have occurred over time, potentially leading to new strains and outbreaks.
One of the highlights of the second edition is its emphasis on experimental methods for studying HEV. Wang provides readers with detailed protocols and techniques used in the laboratory setting, enabling researchers to conduct experiments and gain further insights into the virus. This practical approach makes the book an invaluable resource for scientists working on HEV-related research.
Updates and New Discoveries
The second edition of “Hepatitis E Virus: Methods and Protocols” includes new chapters that cover recent discoveries and advancements in the field. Wang addresses the unresolved problems in HEV research, highlighting the challenges that scientists face and the potential avenues for future exploration.
One of the significant updates in this edition is the inclusion of the latest research on treatment and prevention methods for HEV. Wang discusses the experimental therapies and potential antiviral agents that could be used to treat patients infected with the virus. This information is crucial for physicians and healthcare professionals involved in managing and treating individuals with hepatitis E.
