Unlike the other hepatitis viruses, HEV has an animal reservoir...

Epidemiologic studies up to that time pointed to the fact that these hepatitis infections with clinically very similar course were caused by HAV ...

Cleaning and Disinfection • Little is known about virus survival outside the host; however, HEV is thought to be somewhat stable in the environment since feces are an important source of infection. • Heating pork products to an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) for 20 minutes is required to completely inactivate HEV. • HEV is potentially susceptible to disinfection with acids like acetic aci...
