Abstract
Hepatitis E virus genotype 3 in shellfish, United Kingdom.
Highlights
Several recent reports have linked the incidence of human infection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) to consumption of undercooked pork, game products, and shellfish [1,2]
Infectious HEV has been found in swine manure and wastewater [3]; application of manure to land and subsequent runoff could contaminate coastal water, leading to contamination of shellfish and, subsequently, possible human infection
To determine whether HEV is present in mussels collected locally for human consumption, we examined 48 mussels from 5 tidal locations in Scotland
