Abstract excerpt
Infections caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV) occur worldwide. Molecular epidemiology is crucial to understanding the transmission dynamics; however, the current genotype assignment fails to provide useful epidemiologic information. We classified HAV sequences available in GenBank based on 460 bp of the VP1/2A region in clades. Additionally, we associated the site of isolation of the strains with the country's...
