Abstract: Hepatitis E is caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV) which is currently known to be a zoonotic pathogen transmitted by pigs. In Brazil, there is no information about the circulation of HEV in the swine herd of the Federal District. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was performed with sera from 449 domestic pigs, provided by the Secretary of Agriculture of the Federal District. Blood samples were collected between June and September 2014. A commercially available ELISA kit was used for the detection of IgG ant… Show more

“…All studies performed in swine ( Table 2 ) found evidence of HEV infection, either by using the detection of anti-HEV IgG and/or HEV RNA. Seroprevalence studies in younger pigs (<10 months) found an anti-HEV IgG prevalence of 8.6% in North region of Brazil [ 57 ] and 69.7% in the Midwest region [ 60 ]. The detection of HEV RNA in stools in this age group was 1.7% in the Northeast region [ 58 ] 7.94% in the North region [ 57 ] and 87.5% in Southwest [ 67 ].…”

“…In pigs from family-scale the anti-HEV IgG prevalence was 0% [ 61 ] and 67% [ 60 ] in the Midwest region, and 77.6% in the South region [ 71 ]. Regarding the detection of HEV RNA in stools of pigs from family-scale farms, 8% [ 61 ] and 24% [ 62 ] were found positive in the Midwest region, and 20% [ 68 ] in the South region.…”

“…Em suínos, diversos estudos conduzidos no Brasil encontraram evidências de infecção pelo HEV. A prevalência de anti-HEV IgG em porcos mais jovens (<10 meses) variou de 8,6% a 87,5% (VILANOVA et al, 2018;PAIVA et al, 2007;SOUZA et al, 2012). Já em porcos abatidos, a presença de anti-HEV IgG foi registrada e em valores mais elevados (em torno de 81%), com RNA-HEV sendo detectado na bile desses animais (AMORIM et al, 2018;GARDINALI et al, 2012;SANTOS et al, 2011).…”
