Genetic analysis of hepatitis A virus strains recovered from the environment and from patients with acute hepatitis
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
The molecular epidemiology of hepatitis A virus (HAV) was studied by analysing HAV strains recovered from environmental water samples over a 7 year period and strains recovered from patients with acute hepatitis over a 5 year period. A total of 54 samples of raw domestic sewage and 66 samples of river water were collected. HAV particles were concentrated and detected by nested RT-PCR. HAV infection in patients...
