title: Hepatitis E virus outbreak in monkey facility, Japan.
abstract: An outbreak of hepatitis E virus occurred in an outdoor monkey breeding facility in Japan during 2004-2006. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this virus was genotype 3. This virus was experimentally transmitted to a cynomolgus monkey. Precautions should be taken by facility personnel who work with monkeys to prevent infection.
