We identified rat hepatitis E virus (HEV) RNA in farmed pigs from Spain. Our results indicate that pigs might be susceptible to rat HEV and could serve as viral intermediaries between rodents and humans. Europe should evaluate the prevalence of rat HEV in farmed pigs to assess the risk to public health.
我们在西班牙养殖的猪中鉴定出了戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)RNA。我们的结果表明,猪可能易感染大鼠 HEV,并可能在啮齿动物和人类之间充当病毒的中间宿主。欧洲应评估养殖猪中大鼠 HEV 的流行情况,以评估对公众健康的风险。
