Abstract:HEV infections in animals are mainly diagnosed based on the presence of anti-HEV antibodies in sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). In fact, commercial HEV ELISA kits are only available for selected animal species excluding rabbits. The demonstration of cross-reactivity of rabbit anti-HEV antibodies with human HEV strains makes possible diagnostic use of (human) ELISA kits for detection of specific anti-HEVantibodies in rabbit sera. The aim of the study was the application of ELISA recomWell … Show more
