The latest discovery, reported online Monday.me by the Hong Kong-based International Journal of Laboratory Infectious Diseases (IJIDD), suggests that the man's liver virus may have been infected with rat hepatitis E.

"A few weeks ago, I identified a patient who was very ill with liver disease," said the researcher, a professor of microbiology and immunology. "Since then, his liver virus has been confirmed to be hepatitis E by his liver virus cytoskeleton. Since then, the virus has spread to a much larger number of people, with the most common case being a male-to-female (FMT) woman."

He added that the viral type of the man’s virus is not fully understood. Although the virus is unique to humans, it has been found in rats and human cells of many different ages and species, and has been found in many tissues and organs of animals, and may even be present in human cells.

The man was being treated at the hospital for hepatitis E in August and he was declared ill on September 28, but the diagnosis was confirmed on October 2.

The man is still not fully cured, but has been diagnosed with hepatitis E, and is now awaiting a biopsy and will be transferred to a specialist in Hong Kong.

In an interview with Korean news outlet KBS, the man said that he will be working on his symptoms and is currently working with his doctors.

The first known case of rat hepatitis jumping to a human patient has reopened a long-standing mystery of how the cryptic viruses spread and bounce between humans and animal reservoirs.

In an interview with Korea's Korean Central News Agency on September 17, a senior researcher at the University of Hong Kong, Dr. Lee Ho‐Yen, who has been studying human immunodeficiency virus virus (HIV) in North Korea, said that his own work with the man’s disease had uncovered a new strain of hepatitis E virus that was in fact part of a long-standing human patient with the disease.

The discovery of the man�s infection has opened an enormous gap in the knowledge of how human virus disease (HIV) spreads and why it has such
