Patterns of HeV seroprevalence in relation to age and size. (a) Age-specific HeV seroprevalence as determined by criteria in table 1: animals less than one month old were all seropositive (n=8), reflecting the serostatus of their mothers, which were also all seropositive. Error bars represent 95% binomial CIs. (b) Relationship between forearm length (for animals with forearm length≥124 mm) and HeV seroprevalence. The risk of HeV infection increases with body size. Animals with a forearm length of above 130 mm were all mature animals. Error bars represent 95% binomial CIs. A, 125–130; B, 131–135; C, 136–140; D, 141–145; E, 146–150; F, 151–155; G, 156–160. (c) Age distribution of animals from which teeth were analysed.
