## Abstract In Indonesia where hepatitis E virus (HEV) is believed to be highly endemic, only three outbreaks of HEV transmission have been documented to date in restricted areas (West Kalimantan and East Java). A total of 1,115 serum samples collected from apparently healthy individuals in Bali, L

## Abstract Swine are reservoirs of hepatitis E virus (HEV). In this study, a 2โyear survey of HEV in feces and sera of swine was conducted to determine if: 1) HEV has circulated among pigs for some time in Taiwan; 2) the spread of HEV among differentโaged pigs; and 3) there exists HEV strains poss
## Abstract Antibodies against hepatitis E virus (HEV) were detected in sera by a synthetic peptideโbased enzyme immunoassay (EIA) from different populations in Venezuela. Antibodies against HEV were found in 1.6% (3/184) of urban pregnant woman (Caracas), in 3.9% (8/204) of rural populations (San
In Argentina, a country considered non-endemic for hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, serologic evidence of HEV infection has been observed in different human population groups. In other countries, a high degree of genetic relatedness has been observed between human and swine HEV genotype 3 sequence
In order to determine the prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis A, C, and E viruses (HAV, HCV, and HEV) in the various ethnic groups and areas of French Guiana, sera (996 for HCV and HEV, 941 for HAV) were tested for antibodies to these viruses using ELISAs. Differences in HAV seroprevalence were fo
