Abstract

The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a significant public health concern worldwide and has been associated with the consumption of contaminated pork products and occupational exposure to infected swine. Swine can act as a reservoir of HEV for humans, and the epidemiology of HEV in swine populations is complex and varies depending on the region and population. This article reviews the current knowledge on the link between swine and HEV, including the epidemiology, transmission dynamics, and public health implications of HEV in swine. The article also discusses the current prevention and control measures that have been implemented to reduce the risk of HEV infection in humans and to control HEV epidemiology. The article also highlights the importance of the One Health approach and future research directions that are needed to understand better the epidemiology and transmission dynamics of HEV in swine populations and to develop effective control measures to reduce the burden of HEV infections worldwide.
