In this study, we examined the anti-HEV antibodies and HEV-RNA in sera from 173 of female sika deer in the park. The reactivity to HEV antigen in the serum samples were low levels. The detection of HEV-RNA in sera from the deer revealed no positive samples by RT-PCR analysis. In conclusion, we could not able to identify the HEV antibody and HEV-RNA positive individual in the sika deer which inhabited Nara Park. Therefore, 1h possibility of the HEV infection in the deer of the park would be extremely low.}, pages = {35--37}, title = {奈良公園におけるニホンジカCervus nipponのE型肝炎ウイルス疫学調査}, volume = {13}, year = {2008} }
