PREVALENCE OF HEPATITIS E VIRUS IN POPULATION OF WILD ANIMALS

Original language description

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is new emerging pathogen with zoonotic potential. Domestic pigs, wild boars and deer have been recognised as natural reservoirs of the virus. In the process, the consumption of raw or undercooked meat, offal, meat products or direct contact with infected animals have been classified as risks factors of HEV transmission. Based on this knowledge, the aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of HEV in wild boars (Sus scrofa), cervix (Cervus elaphus, Capreolus capreolus, Dama dama and Cervus nippon) and moufflons (Ovis musimon) and find out possible relation between the animal and human isolates in the Czech Republic. Using real time RT-PCR, HEV genomic RNA was detected in a total of 74 (21.3 %) tested animals; 70 (30.2 %) wild boars, two (5 %) red deer, one roe deer and one moufflon. The HEV prevalence of 16.7 % was detected in free-living wild boars, while up to 62.5 % of wild boars bred in game enclosure were found to be HEV positive. Phylogenetic relation between HEV isolates of animal and human origin indicated zoonotic transmission of HEV in the Czech Republic.
