    Hepatitis E virus (HEV) investigations in Russia reveal widespread antibodies in the population and HEV RNA in pigs and wild boars. This suggests HEV may be a zoonotic disease, transmitted from animals to humans.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Epidemiology
    • Zoonotic Diseases

    Context:

    • Investigations conducted at the M. P. Chumakov Institute of Poliomyelitis and Viral Encephalitides, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.
    • M. S. Balayan's discovery of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) enabled etiological interpretation of non-A, non-B hepatitis cases.
    • HEV is characterized by fecal-oral transmission.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence and potential sources of Hepatitis E virus (HEV) in Russia.
    • To explore the zoonotic potential of HEV in a non-endemic region.

    Summary:

    • Antibodies to HEV were detected in diverse Russian populations, often without reported disease.
    • Hepatitis E virus RNA was identified in domestic pigs and wild boars within Russia.
    • These findings support the hypothesis of HEV as a zoonosis, with animal reservoirs playing a role in transmission.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the potential for HEV transmission in non-endemic regions.
    • Underscores the importance of considering animal populations in HEV surveillance and control.
    • Contributes to understanding the epidemiology of Hepatitis E globally.
