Hepatitis E virus-mediated infection is a serious public health concern in economically developing nations of the world.
Globally, four major genotypes of HEV have been documented.
Hepatitis E has been suggested to be zoonotic owing to the increase of evidence through various studies.
Thus far, this paper reports on prevalence of hepatitis E virus among swine herd in selected communal and commercial farms in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
A total of 160 faecal samples were collected from swine herds in Amathole and Chris Hani District Municipalities of Eastern Cape Province for the presence of HEV.
Of the 160 faecal samples screened, only seven were positive (4.4%) for HEV.
The nucleotide sequences analyses revealed the isolates as sharing 82% to 99% identities with other strains (KX896664, KX896665, KX896666, KX896667, KX896668, KX896669, and KX896670) from different regions of the world.
We conclude that HEV is present among swine in the Eastern Cape Province, albeit in low incidence, and this does have public health implications.
There is a need for maintenance of high hygienic standards in order to prevent human infections through swine faecal materials and appropriate cooking of pork is highly advised.
