| Research Abstract |
We conducted an epidemiological survey of the hepatitis E virus in the wild animal. As a result, a HEV-RNA was detected in approximately 47% of individual livers out of 629 Yezo deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) which we investigated and showed a viral gene in 12% more individual feces. Also, after investigating the palm civet (Paguma larvata) which inhabited Honshu, we detected the viral genome of 30% in feces, 53% in liver. It was suggested that a HEV habitually resided to these wild animals. Also, the deer HEV was transmitted by the experimental infection to a pig, and HEV was isolated from the feces of some individuals and confirmed infectious viral excretion from the infected deer.
