title: Possible zoonotic transmission of hepatitis E from pet pig to its owner.
abstract: Hepatitis E is transmitted mainly by water or food, but in industrialized countries, all routes of transmission have not been identified. We describe possible zoonotic transmission of hepatitis E virus that involved direct contact between a pet pig and its owner.
