“…This heightened risk among butchers may stem from direct exposure to blood and other bodily fluids due to occupational accidents, as well as routine exposure to HEV ( Pérez-Gracia et al, 2007 ; Montagnaro et al, 2015 ). Notably, individuals with significant contact with animal carcasses (butchers and slaughterhouse workers) tend to exhibit high IgG antibody prevalence, particularly in African settings ( Adjei et al, 2009 ; Temmam et al, 2013 ; Oluremi et al, 2021 ). This might not be limited to pigs, since animals like cows, sheep, and goat have also been implicated as potential HEV reservoirs ( Antia et al, 2018 ; Ouoba et al, 2019 ; Treagus et al, 2021 ; Ferri et al, 2022 ; Batmagnai et al, 2023 ).…”
