Food contaminated by hepatitis A virus (HAV) is responsible of the 2-7% of all HAV outbreaks worldwide. This review provides a description of the HAV characteristics, its infectivity and epidemiological features. In addition, this review compiles existing original papers reporting HAV prevalence, viral titres in foodstuffs and the risk associated with food contamination. The purpose of this revision is to conduct a structured and systematic review of the published molecular procedures for HAV detection in food, including the assessment of its infectivity.
受甲型肝炎病毒（HAV）污染的食物导致了全球 2-7%的 HAV 爆发。本综述提供了对 HAV 特征、感染性和流行病学特征的描述。此外，本综述还汇集了现有的报告 HAV 流行率、食品中病毒滴度以及与食物污染相关风险的原始论文。本次修订的目的是对已发表的食品中 HAV 检测的分子程序进行结构化和系统的综述，包括对其感染性的评估。
