To investigate the seroprevalence of HEV infection in different national human population in Han, Hui and Zang in China. EIA was used for detecting anti-HEV IgG of the serum samples. All samples were collected in 2006-2008 in Sichuan, Beijing, Heilongjianin, Sandong, Gansuo, Ningxia and Qinghai areas.

The HEV infection in Han national population was higher than the Hui and Zang national, significantly. The HEV infection was correlation with age significantly, the infection rate was increased with age.
