Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis A virus (HAV), the causative agent of type A viral hepatitis, was first identified about three decades ago. Recent findings have shown that HAV possess several characteristics that make it unique among the family Picornaviridae, particularly in terms of its mechanisms of polyprotein processing and virion morphogenesis. HAV circulates in vivo as distributions of closely genetically related variants...
