HEV infection is a main global public health issue (Guerra et al. 2017). HEV can zoonotically transmit to humans. Swine is recognized as a major reservoir of HEV (Meng 2016). Consuming raw or undercooked pork meat or pork liver leads to acute HEV infection, which may be the primary source of sporadic HEV infection in the world (Okano et al. 2014). Recently, Moor et al. reported that HEV was detected in ready-to-eat meat products, in meat products (11.1%), liver sausages (18.9%), and raw meat sausages (5.7%) in Switzerland (Moor et al. 2018). However, information is lacking on the prevalence of HEV infection in the swine in Yunnan province of China, where raw pork and fresh liver are consumed traditionally. In our study, the HEV RNA was investigated by reverse transcription PCR in retail pork products, including pork meat (n= 57), liver (n= 12), intestine (n= 16), spleen (n= 3), and ureter (n= 19). High prevalence of HEV RNA was found in 19 of total 57 (33.3%) in retail pork meat, 1 of 12 (8.3%) retail pig liver, 3 of 16 (18.7%) intestine, 1 of 3 (33.3%) spleen, and 5 of 19 (26.3%) ureter (Fig. 1 a). Because of the limited samples, some percentages might only be of relative significance. Viral titers were quantified using SYBR green-based quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) with HEV-specific primers as described (Baylis et al. 2013). The viral titers were 1.2× 105 copies/g to 1.5× 106 copies/g in pork meat, 2.3× 105 copies/g to 1.7× 106 copies/g in intestine, and approximately 5.5× 105 copies/g in the liver and 8.3× 105 copies/g in the spleen (Fig. 1 b). Ten nucleotide sequences of HEV isolated from pork products were obtained and deposited to GenBank under accession numbers MF616013–MF616022. Phylogenetic analysis shows that all HEV strains isolated from pork products belong to HEV genotype 4 and subtype 4 h with a 97.1–99.4% similarity to human HEV, and 96.0–99.7% to cow HEV (Fig. 1 c). We further confirmed the HEV antigens in these pork products by immunohistochemistry analysis (Fig. 1 d). The presence of HEV antigens suggested a risk of HEV infection upon consumption of untreated pork products. In summary, a high prevalence of HEV RNA was found in the retail pork products in Yunnan province of China, where raw pork and fresh liver are consumed traditionally. There is a high risk of zoonotic HEV transmission from swine to human.
