Population

22 Hepatitis A virus isolates collected in Buenos Aires, Argentina over a 2-3 year period

Intervention

Sequence analysis of the VP1-2A junction and VP3-VP1 region

Outcome

Genotype classification and phylogenetic clustering

Hepatitis A virus isolates circulating in Buenos Aires belong to sub-genotype IA and show high genetic diversity with distinct phylogenetic clusters.

Mbayed et al. (2002) studied this question.
