Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Hepatitis E is a prevalent disease in developing countries due to poor sanitation.
  • In developed nations, Hepatitis E infections are typically sporadic and imported.
  • The Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus within the Hepeviridae family.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the emergence of indigenous Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections in developed countries.
  • To explore the role of zoonosis in Hepatitis E transmission.
  • To understand the implications of HEV infection associated with animal meat consumption.

Summary:

  • Recent advancements in HEV RNA and antibody detection have identified indigenous HEV infections.
  • A significant number of these cases are linked to the consumption of raw meat from infected animals.
