Prevalence of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) in Feral and Farmed Wild Boars in Xinjiang, Northwest China

Abstract: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes infections in humans and a wide range of animal hosts. Wild boar is an important natural reservoir of HEV genotypes 3–6 (HEV-3–HEV-6), but comparative analysis of HEV infections in both feral and farmed wild boars remains limited. In this study, samples from 599 wild boars were collected during 2017–2020, including 121 feral wild boars (collected 121 fecal, 121 serum, and 89 liver samples) and 478 farmed wild boars (collected 478 fecal and 478 serum samples). The presence of anti… Show more

“…The infection is especially dangerous to pregnant women and is associated with high morbidity and even a risk of death. A subclinical course of HEV infection in blood donors has also been described [1,6,10,11,18].…”

“…Eight genotypes (from HEV-1 to HEV-8) have been distinguished in the Paslahepevirus balayani species, which belongs to the genus Paslahepevirus [6,7]. Genotypes HEV-1 and HEV-2 are spread among humans via the fecal-oral route, most frequently through consumption of contaminated water and food.…”

“…In Europe, Asia, and Northern American continents, HEV3 subtypes from 3a to 3 m and HEV4 from 4a to 4 g were widely detected (Smith et al, 2020 ) with special regard to the 3f (Abravanel et al, 2020 ; Schemmerer et al, 2022 ). Focusing on the European scientific literature, HEV3c, 3e, and 3f subtypes were mainly discovered, with special regard to the domestic pig ( Sus scrofa domesticus ) which represents the main HEV reservoir in the so-called “ domestic viral life-cycle ” (Di Bartolo et al, 2017 ; Ivanova et al, 2015 ), and wild boars ( Sus scrofa ) resulted to be involved in the “ wild one .” Furthermore, due to the increasing anthropization and urbanization processes, the environmental sharing with wild animal species (wild boars and ruminants) provides epidemiological and ecological conditions for possible cross-species infections (Anheyer-Behmenburg et al, 2017 ; Casares-Jimenez et al, 2021 ; Chandra et al, 2008 ; Wu et al, 2022 ). Basing on the viral trophism for hepatocytes, and secondly to the viremia step, and myosatellite cells, the biomolecular assays on these mentioned tissues result necessary for further public sanitary considerations (Aspinall et al, 2017 ).…”
