Sažetak
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.
