Analysis showed that the virus is 81.5%-86.5% similar to other aHEVs. In Taiwan, aHEV infection has been reported in chickens without aHEV exposure, suggesting transmission from asymptomatic cases or repeated introduction through an unknown common source(s).[SDGs]SDG3virus antibody; article; bile; chicken; enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; genetic variability; genotype; hepatitis E; nonhuman; nucleotide sequence; phylogenetic tree; prevalence; reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; sequence analysis; sequence homology; virus transmission; avian hepatitis E virus; avian HEV; chickens; complete genome; ELISA; ORF1; ORF2; ORF3; phylogeny; seropositive rate; Taiwan; viruses; Animals; Chickens; Genes, Viral; Genotype; Hepatitis, Viral, Animal; Hepevirus; Phylogeny; RNA Virus Infections; Taiwanjournal article10.3201/eid2001.131224
