Core Tip Globally, hepatitis E infection remains a common but unpredictable cause of acute viral hepatitis. Environmental contamination represents the critical missing link in understanding the transmission of hepatitis E virus from animal reservoirs to humans, particularly the pathways enabling interspecies transmission. Whilst many countries screen blood donors for the virus, circulation within the food chain and water supply inhibits our ability to protect those particularly vulnerable to infection.
