We identified hepatitis E virus (HEV) 3ra, a potentially zoonotic subtype, in rabbits in Ukraine, which highlights their potential role as reservoirs. Screening of rabbit fecal samples identified HEV-3ra. Public health services in this country should improve HEV surveillance and expand HEV sampling.
我们在乌克兰的兔子身上发现了戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)3ra,这是一种潜在的人畜共患亚型,突出了它们作为宿主的潜在作用。对兔子粪便样本的筛查发现了HEV-3ra。该国的公共卫生服务应加强戊型肝炎监测并扩大戊型肝炎样本采集。
