Evolutionary analyses were conducted with MEGA5 (66). GenBank accession numbers of strains are as follows: D11092, L08816, AF459438, DQ459342, M74506, EU723512, FJ705359, FJ998008, AB089824, AB248521, AB301710, AB248520, AB591734, EU375463, FJ906895, FJ906896, GU937805, AB220974, GU119960, AB480825, AB097811, AB097812, AB573435, and AB602441 for HEV genotypes 1 to 4; GU345042 and GU345043 for rodent hepevirus; and AM943647, EF206691, AC535004, and GU954430 for avian hepevirus. Boldface type indicates percent nucleotide identity, and lightface type indicates percent amino acid identity.
