Erratum to: Hepatitis E Virus in Farmed Rabbits, Wild Rabbits and Petting Farm Rabbits in the Netherlands

Abstract

Abstract, the HEV prevalence in Farmed Rabbits, Wild Rabbits and Petting Farm Rabbits has been stated as ''(23, 0, and 60 % respectively)''. This should be: ''(0, 60, and 23 % respectively)''.The online version of the original article can be found under

Persistent infection with a rabbit hepatitis E virus created by a reverse genetics system

“…Because these viruses are most genetically similar to HEV‐3, they are assigned to the subtype HEV‐3ra (Smith et al., 2016). Following the initial detection of a rabbit HEV strain in farmed rabbits in China (Zhao et al., 2009), many additional HEV strains have been detected in farmed or wild rabbits or specific pathogen‐free rabbits in the United States (Cossaboom, Cordoba, Cao, Ni, & Meng, 2012), China (Geng et al., 2013), Korea (Han et al., 2018), Germany (Hammerschmidt et al., 2017), Italy (Di Bartolo et al., 2016), the Netherlands (Burt, Veltman, Hakze‐van der Honing, Schmitt, & van der Poel, 2016) and France (Izopet et al., 2012), suggesting that rabbit HEV infection is common in rabbits and that rabbits are a natural host of rabbit HEV. This virus has been successfully transmitted to pigs and cynomolgus macaques, demonstrating a potential cross‐species transmission (Cossaboom, Cordoba, Sanford, et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2013).…”

Immunogenicity and Antigenicity of Rabbit Hepatitis E Virus-Like Particles Produced by Recombinant Baculoviruses

“…Following the first detection of a rabbit HEV in a farmed rabbit in China in 2009, many rabbit HEV strains have been detected in farmed rabbits, wild rabbits or specific pathogen-free rabbits worldwide, suggesting that rabbit HEV infection is common in rabbits and that rabbits are a natural host of rabbit HEV [18][19][20][21][22]. Because rabbit HEV is genetically closest to HEV-3, it was assigned to HEV-3ra, a subtype of HEV-3 [13].…”
