Numbers above bars indicate number of donors tested. Error bars indicate 95% CI for percentage in each category. C) Age and sex distribution of blood donors whose serum samples were positive for HEV IgM. Numbers on data bars are ratios of specific ELISA optical density to cutoff values (IgM index); ratios ≥1 are considered positive. Ratios are shown for each donor. HEV, hepatitis E virus.
