Opis (eng)

ABSTRACT Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of acute hepatitis E infection in humans. Two epidemiological patterns of the disease exist-endemic and sporadic. Genotypes 1 (HEV-1) and 2 (HEV-2) are transmitted through contaminated water and are responsible for the outbreaks of many large-scale epidemics in developing countries of Asia and Africa. Genotypes 3 (HEV-3) and 4 (HEV-4) have zoonotic potential and cause sporadic cases and small outbreaks in high-income countries. The first case of HEV infection in swine was confirmed in 1997 and later detected in other animal species. The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of HEV infection in pig farms in Vojvodina province, Serbia.
