Phylogenetic dendrogram constructed by the neighbor-joining method based on the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the RNA dependent RNA polymerase from hepatitis E virus strains isolated from samples from sporadic cases and from sewage collected in Vellore, south India. Bootstrap values for 1000 pseudoreplicates are shown. Boxed sequences show the strains isolated from sewage in Vellore with high similarity to strains from sporadic cases in Vellore and Swedish nationals who were infected while travelling in India. Reference sequences from studies carried out in Sweden are shown with $ superscripts, sequences from Cuba with @ superscripts and sequences from the Vellore outbreak with # superscripts. GenBank reference sequences were also selected from other countries, Chad (AY204877) and Morocco (AY230202), and strains isolated from a Nepalese individual in Japan (AB533368), sewage from western India (AF398916), an outbreak in north India (JF414937) and an aymptomatic migrant in Italy (JX898218). Strains isolated from the current study have been deposited in GenBank with accession numbers: sewage samples: (%) VLSew1–VLSew8 (JF972766–JF972773); hospital samples: (ˆ) SHV1–SHV9 (JN705651–JN705659); and community samples: (&) SCV1–SCV3 (JN705660–JN705662).
