Abstract Abstract: Hepatitis E is an enterically transmitted zoonosis caused by hepatitis E virus that infectious to many animals includes swine. To understand the current status of HEV infection in swine liver, 581 swine liver samples collected from Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing and Henan province was examined by Immunohistochemistry stain、 H.E and RT-PCR. The result showed that HEV Immunohistochemistry stain positive rate was beyond 90%, except Henan(33.3%), the highest positive rate was 100%. With a pair of primer design from HEV ORF2 gene, Nucleic Acid of HEV can be detected in liver cells with PCR. It suggests that hepatitis E was widely prevalent in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing and Henan province .
