Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Despite the endemicity of hepatitis A virus (HAV) in Nigeria, genetic information on the HAV genotypes/subgenotypes circulating in the country remains unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate HAV strains using molecular epidemiological and genetic analyses among apparently healthy adult Nigerian subjects. METHODS: Testing for HAV-RNA was performed on 114 serum samples by the reverse...
