Abstract

Importance: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a globally widespread zoonotic pathogen that poses a significant public health risk. Swine serve as the primary natural host for zoonotic HEV. This study introduces a rapid and precise method for detecting swine HEV RNA, showcasing its potential as an effective diagnostic tool for comprehensive and efficient screening of swine HEV in veterinary clinics.
