Hepatovirus
Hepatovirus is a genus of viruses that primarily infects the liver. The most well-known member of this genus is Hepatitis A virus, which causes hepatitis A, a contagious liver infection. Hepatoviruses are typically transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated food or water.
These viruses can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice. While most people recover fully from hepatitis A, it can cause severe illness in some cases. Vaccination is available to prevent infection, making it an important public health measure in many regions.
