## Abstract A limited number of hepatitis A virus (HAV) isolates from South America have been characterised at the genomic level. IgM antiβHAV positive serum samples collected from patients with hepatitis A living in the five geographical regions of Brazil (North, Northeast, Central, South, and Sou

The Hepatitis A virus (HAV) has been classified in seven different genotypes, which include human (I, II, III, and VII) and simian (IV, V, and VI) groups. The sequence analysis of HAV strains contributes to the molecular epidemiology of the virus. Although the infection with HAV is endemic in Argent
## Abstract Genetic analysis of selected genome regions of hepatitis A Virus (HAV) suggested that distinct genotype could be defined in different geographic locations. In order to study the degree of genetic variability among HAV isolated during a single epidemic outbreak, sequences from a 148 base
## Abstract Matched serum and saliva samples were collected simultaneously from 124 subjects exposed during a hepatitis A virus (HAV) outbreak at a daycare center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. All samples were tested for IgM and total antiβHAV antibodies by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). HAV was detected b
## Abstract Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is highly prevalent in Latin America, including Venezuela. Subgenotype IA seems to circulate in an almost exclusive fashion, except in Brazil. The aim of this study was the molecular characterization of the HAV infection in Venezuela, in order to charac
