Hepatitis A: Clinical, Epidemiological and Molecular Characteristics
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a member of the Hepatovirus genus of Picornaviridae family. HAV is a non-enveloped (naked), linear, single stranded RNA virus of an icosahedral symmetry measuring 27-32 nm in diameter (Feinstone, 1973). The infectious particle consists of capsid protein and RNA genome (Fig. 1). The buoyant density of the mature particle is 1.33g/cm3 in CsCl solutions and the sedimenta...
متن کاملEpidemiological and clinical features of hepatitis delta in HBsAg-positive patients by HIV status.
BACKGROUND The epidemiology of HBV-associated hepatitis has changed in recent years, especially after the introduction of anti-HBV vaccination, with a consequent decrease in the incidence of HDV-associated hepatitis.

متن کاملUpdate on Clinical and Epidemiological Features of Viral Hepatitis A
HAV is a very resistant virus in the environment because of by the absence of envelop. The virus is resistant against denaturation by drying, temperature as high as 56°C and as low as -20°C and acid at pH 3.0 [3,5,6]. The virus can also survive in used water for weeks at 20 °C temperature especially if the humidity is low. The virus is neutralized after heating at 70 °C for 4 min and inactivate...
