“…For instance, HEV-3 or HEV-4 RNA has been found in mussels from Galicia (14.81%) [154] and Scotland (85%) [155]; in oysters from coastal regions in Korea (8.7%) [156]; in bivalves from Japanese rivers [157]; and in shellfish from the coastal waters of China [158]. Moreover, experimental bioaccumulation has shown that oysters, flat oysters, mussels and clams can concentrate HEV, mostly in their digestive tissues [159].…”

During the past ten years, several new hepatitis E viruses (HEVs) have been identified in various animal species. In parallel, the number of reports of autochthonous hepatitis E in Western countries has increased as well, raising the question of what role these possible animal reservoirs play in human infections. The aim of this review is to present the recent discoveries of animal HEVs and their classification within the Hepeviridae family, their zoonotic and species barrier crossing potential, and possible use as models to study hepatitis E pathogenesis. Lastly, this review describes the transmission pathways identified from animal sources.

“…Some studies have detected HEV in mussels or oysters. In Spain, Mesquita et al [233] found that 15% of mussels batches tested from Galicia (Spain) were contaminated by the virus. In a similar study, Diez-Valcarce et al [231] analyzed commercial mussels obtained at local retail stores in Spain and Finland, obtaining 6% of positive samples in the Spanish specimens.…”

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the main cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. Its presence in developing countries has been documented for decades. Developed countries were supposed to be virus-free and initially only imported cases were detected in those areas. However, sporadic and autochthonous cases of HEV infection have been identified and studies reveal that the virus is worldwide spread. Chronic hepatitis and multiple extrahepatic manifestations have also been associated with HEV. We review the data from European countries, where human, animal, and environmental data have been collected since the 90s. In Europe, autochthonous HEV strains were first detected in the late 90s and early 2000s. Since then, serological data have shown that the virus infects quite frequently the European population and that some species, such as pigs, wild boars, and deer, are reservoirs. HEV strains can be isolated from environmental samples and reach the food chain, as shown by the detection of the virus in mussels and in contaminated pork products as sausages or meat. All these data highlight the need of studies directed to control the sources of HEV to protect immunocompromised individuals that seem the weakest link of the HEV epidemiology in industrialized regions.
