Implication

Review highlights challenges and provides control pathways for hepatitis e virus in Nigeria and Africa, indicating the need for a One Health approach.

Key Points

  • Hepatitis E virus significantly affects public health in Africa, impacting particularly vulnerable populations.
  • Nigeria has documented major outbreaks, and seroprevalence studies reveal high infection rates in pigs and humans.
  • Challenges in controlling hepatitis E include weak surveillance systems and limited genetic characterization.
  • A One Health approach is essential, integrating human, veterinary, and environmental health systems to address the crisis.
