Hepatitis E virus: The only hepatitis virus with a known zoonotic reservoir
Vampyrodes caraccioli
Hipposideros abae
Eptesicus serotinus
Myotis bechsteinii
Myotis daubentonii
…7 (0.18%) positive bats 5 species 3 continents
Testing of ca. 90,000 human blood donations from Germany sampled 2009-2010 (GfE Blut) –
no bat-related hepevirus…
…as in a simultaneous study from Germany
Dreier et al, JCM, 2012
HEV sequences from German
donors sampled 2011:
Clustering with pig and human
strains from Germany and the
Netherlands
…and a preceding one.
„Closest sequence match between an HEV strain from a wild boar and samples 6 and
7 from German donors.“
Should risk groups such as hunters, butchers or abattoir workers be specifically screened for HEV infection?
…peridomestic animal viruses closely related to human HEV:
secondary acquisitions
from humans?

Are there „original“ swine / deer... viruses?
