Characterization of near-complete hepatitis E virus genomes of genotype 1e and 4b detected from humans in Cameroon

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important public health concern, especially in developing countries. Complete genomes of HEV strains circulating in Cameroon are not available. Here, we report five nearly complete strains of HEV in Cameroon. These strains share a high identity with human African and swine Asian isolates.
