Abstract

The article provides the results of a comparative analysis of the relationship of swine hepatitis E virus infection with vari-ous liver lesions in animals on industrial pig breeding complexes. A wide territorial spread of infection of pigs with hepatitis E virus has been established, which proceeds in the form of a latent infection without pronounced clinical signs. When comparing the results of serological studies for the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis E virus in pigs and the results of post-murder de-tection of hepatitis, the incidence of pathology is almost the same, 13.6 % and 14.8 %, respectively. In the case, toxic liver dystro-phy, as the leading cause of death, accounts for 7.7−10.2 % of cases.
