Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide, with both human-restricted (genotypes 1 and 2) and zoonotic lineages (genotypes 3 and 4). However, information regarding HEV circulation in Central America remains limited. In this study, wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance was conducted in San José, Costa Rica, during 2025 to investigate the presence of HEV in the main...
