Abstract / Description of output

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) RNA was detected in 6.3% and IgG anti-HEV in 40% of 5,033 market-weight pig serum samples collected from 25 slaughterhouses in 10 states. The prevalent HEV genotype is zoonotic genotype 3, group 2 (HEV-3abchij). Blood of HEV viremic pigs from slaughterhouses may contaminate pork supply chains.
