Genotype specific pathogenicity of hepatitis E virus at the human maternal-fetal interface
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can result in severe placental disease, but mechanisms underlying pathogenicity are poorly understood. Here, the authors develop an ex vivo model for HEV infection at the maternal-fetal interface and compare pathogenicity of different HEV genotypes.
