Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the exposure to Hepatitis E virus (HEV) on Reunion Island using a serosurvey among blood donors, analyzing archived frozen sera from a past cohort.
- - Results showed raw and weighted seroprevalences of HEV at 9.01% and 6.73%, respectively, with higher seropositivity observed in older individuals and males compared to females.
- - Findings suggest that Reunion Island has low endemicity for HEV, with spatial variability linked to living near pig farms, hinting at potential environmental contamination as a risk factor.
