Overview

Systematic review shows high detection rates of rat hepatitis E virus in wastewater, highlighting risks to human health.

Key Points

  • Rat hepatitis E virus is detected in urban wastewater systems, indicating widespread environmental presence.
  • High detection rates were found in influent wastewater samples across several European countries including Sweden and France.
  • Bivalve mollusks in Brazil showed a 2.2% detection rate of rat hepatitis E virus RNA in tested samples.
  • Enhanced monitoring and standardized detection methods are needed to address potential public health threats from this zoonotic virus.
