We found seroprevalences for hepatitis E virus (HEV) of 7.5%, 18.5%, and 83.3% in specific pathogen-free (SPF) laboratory rabbits, monkeys, and pigs, respectively, in China. HEV RNA was detected in 4.8% of SPF rabbits, and 11 rabbits had latent infections. Screening for HEV in SPF animals before relevant experiments are conducted is recommended.
在中国，我们分别在无特定病原体（SPF）的实验兔、猴和猪中发现戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）血清阳性率为7.5%、18.5%和83.3%。在4.8%的SPF兔中检测到HEV RNA，并且有11只兔存在潜伏感染。建议在进行相关实验前对SPF动物进行HEV筛查。
