Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major zoonotic pathogen, with pigs serving as the principal animal reservoir. While consumption of raw or undercooked pig liver is a well-recognized risk factor, systematic data on HEV contamination in retail pork meat remain limited. In this study, 1546 retail pork samples collected from eight geographic regions across Japan were analyzed for HEV RNA using a validated nested RT-PCR...
