Abstract
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a common human pathogen found exclusively in primates. In a molecular and serologic study of 64 alpacas in Bolivia, we detected RNA of distinct HAV in ≈9% of animals and HAV anti-bodies in ≈64%. Complete-genome analysis suggests a long association of HAV with alpacas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
