Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important cause of acute hepatitis in humans. Zoonotic transmission between pigs and humans has been confirmed. Human HEV infection is common in Nigeria; however, characterization of HEV infection in other species was lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate HEV infection in Nigerian pigs. A total of 286 serum samples from six states in Nigeria were tested for presence of anti-HEV IgG. Ninety fecal samples from one of these states (Plateau State) were tested for presence of HEV RNA. The overall prevalence of anti-HEV IgG-positive or suspect-positive pigs was 55.6% (159 of 286) with regional prevalence rates ranging from 36% (9 of 25; Delta State) to 88% (22 of 25; Taraba State). The overall HEV RNA prevalence rate was 76.7% (69 of 90). All polymerase chain reaction-positive samples belonged to HEV genotype 3 based on sequencing. The results indicate that HEV genotype 3 infection is widespread in Nigerian pigs.
戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）是人类急性肝炎的重要病因。已证实其可在猪与人之间发生动物源性传播。HEV 感染在尼日利亚很常见；然而，其他物种的 HEV 感染特征尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查尼日利亚猪中的 HEV 感染情况。检测了来自尼日利亚六个州的 286 份血清样本，以检测抗-HEV IgG 的存在情况。从其中一个州（高原州）的 90 份粪便样本中检测了 HEV RNA 的存在情况。抗-HEV IgG 阳性或疑似阳性猪的总体流行率为 55.6%（286 份中的 159 份），区域流行率范围为 36%（25 份中的 9 份；三角洲州）至 88%（25 份中的 22 份；塔拉巴州）。HEV RNA 的总体流行率为 76.7%（90 份中的 69 份）。所有聚合酶链反应阳性样本均基于测序属于 HEV 基因型 3。结果表明，HEV 基因型 3 感染在尼日利亚猪中广泛流行。
