“…High seroprevalences of hepatitis E (>30%) in wild boars were reported in Japan and several European countries (Charrier et al, 2018, Hara et al, 2014, Kukielka et al, 2016, Larska et al, 2015, Mazzei et al, 2015, Motoya et al, 2016, Schielke et al, 2015, Spancerniene et al, 2016, Thiry et al, 2017, Weiner et al, 2016, Žele et al, 2016 (Tables 1 and 1S). In North-Central Italy, the seroprevalence of hepatitis E varied significantly between provinces: the lowest prevalence in wild boars was 4% and the highest 49% (Martinelli et al, 2015).…”
