El virus de hepatitis E (VHE) es un patógeno con potencial zoonótico que afecta al cerdo doméstico, al jabalí Sus scrofa y al ser humano, entre otras especies. El VHE ha sido reportado en jabalíes de Argentina y Uruguay, pero el conocimiento acerca de la epidemiología de este virus es aún muy escaso en la región. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la circulación del VHE es poblaciones de jabalí y ganado vacuno en Argentina, a través de análisis serológicos (ELISA) y moleculares (PCR). No se hallaron muestras positivas. Sin embargo, se resalta la importancia de reportar casos negativos como insumo clave de futuras investigaciones y análisis de riesgo, sobre todo en relación a una posible transmisión del virus entre jabalíes y especies nativas susceptibles.
