Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is widely distributed worldwide and is endemic in developing countries. Travel-related HEV infection has been reported at national levels, but global data are missing. Moreover, the global availability of HEV diagnostic testing has not been explored so far. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections in returning travelers and availability of HEV diagnostic testing in the GeoSentinel surveillance network.

Abstract
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is widely distributed worldwide and is endemic in developing countries. Travel-related HEV infection has been reported at national levels, but global data are missing. Moreover, the global availability of HEV diagnostic testing has not been explored so far. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections in returning travelers and availability of HEV diagnostic testing in the GeoSentinel surveillance network.File in questo prodotto:
