Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Animal Modeling

Background:

  • Human hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection studies are significantly challenged by limitations in current cell culture systems.
  • Effective animal models are essential for advancing our understanding of HEV, a widespread and understudied virus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the utility of various animal models for investigating human hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection.
  • To highlight the importance of these models in studying HEV pathogenesis, cross-species transmission, and molecular biology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on animal models used in HEV research.
  • Analysis of the advantages and limitations of different animal models, including nonhuman primates, swine, rabbits, and humanized mice.

Main Results:

  • Nonhuman primates are highly valuable due to susceptibility to multiple HEV genotypes (1-4).
  • Swine, rabbits, and humanized mice offer alternative models for specific research areas like pathogenesis and cross-species studies.
  • Existing models provide critical insights into HEV, but limitations persist.

Conclusions:

  • The identification and utilization of appropriate animal models are indispensable for comprehensive HEV research.
  • Animal models are key to developing effective antiviral therapies and vaccines against HEV.
  • Further research into refining and validating animal models will accelerate progress in combating HEV infections.
