Following publication of the original article [1], we have been notified of a typing error in the “Discussion” section.

The sentence “The proportion of HEV RNA-positive samples for both open reading frames in this study did not significantly differ except between roe deer (22.58% vs. 12.90%, P = 0.084).” should be read as: “The proportion of HEV RNA-positive samples for both open reading frames in this study differed significantly except between roe deer (22.58% vs. 12.90%, P = 0.084).”
