Abstract

The aim of this study was to detect HEV by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and to determine infected organs and cell types. The samples of lung, liver, spleen, intestines, kidney and lymph nodes were collected from 3 fattening pigs previously found HEV-positive by nested RT-PCR. For IHC detection a mouse anti-HEV Mab (USBiological*) is used. HEV antigen was detected in liver of all 3 pigs in periportal inflammatory cells and in hepatocytes in centrolobar degeneration process and in mesenterial lymph nodes.

Abstract

The aim of our study was to clarify the presence of HEV and described histopathological lesions in pigs in Croatia. A 37 fatteners were completely postmortem examined and samples of bile were colected and tested by nested PCR for presence of HEV. The liver tissue was collected for histological examination. HEV RNA was detected in 3 (8, 1%) of total 37 pigs. A moderate inflammatory reaction was present in periportal spaces as well as centrolobar necrosis and degeneration of hepatocytes with lymphoplasmacytic hepatitis was detected in 3 pigs. The study confirmed presence of HEV infection in Croatian large pig production units.
