ABSTRACT: Hepatitis A virus (HAV)
causes many cases of oyster- or clam-associated gastroenteritis in various
countries. HAV was detected on oyster by RT-PCR in 19.6% (11/56) in Korea. The
percentages of HAV-positive samples in 2011
and 2012 were 27.6% and 11.1%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that several nucleotide sequences highly similar to those of HAVs
isolated in this study. Phylogenetic analysis of the coding regions of the
viral protein VP4/VP2 revealed that all amplicons were classi?ed into IA
genogroup. It will provide useful data that aids in our understanding
circulating HAVs and may contribute to future control.
