Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been detected in rabbits, but whether rabbit HEV strains can be transmitted to humans is not known. Of 919 HEV-infected patients in France during 2015-2016, five were infected with a rabbit HEV strain. None of the patients had direct contact with rabbits, suggesting foodborne or waterborne infections.
在兔子中已检测到戊型肝炎病毒（HEV），但兔HEV毒株是否能传播给人类尚不清楚。在2015年至2016年期间法国的919例HEV感染患者中，有5例感染了兔HEV毒株。这些患者均未与兔子有直接接触，提示可能是经食物或水传播感染。
