Genome sequences of hepatitis E virus genotype 1e from an outbreak in the Central African Republic, 2018
The hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes major outbreaks in sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we present four genome sequences of HEV-1e from the 2018 outbreak in the Central African Republic. Despite high identity with known African isolates, these sequences constitute a new cluster and suggest local transmission and diversification.
