Nucleotide sequence of the central portion of the 5`non-translated region of the hepatitis A virus between nucleotides 200 and 500. Horizontal lines indicate identical nucleotides between the individual strains and hepatitis A virus prototype (HAVPT). Vertical lines indicate positions where nucleotide changes occurred in the individual strains compared with HAVPT. FH cases were A10, A1, A413, A425, A502, A601, A204, A5, A206, A414, A165, and A205, respectively. AHs cases were A16, A159, A197, A811, A156, A196, A6, A200, A201, A702, A161, A302, and A160, respectively. AH cases were A141, A180, A404, A406, A713, A809, A819, A19, A39, A62, A168, A301, A304, A402, A711, A802, A814, A8, A32, A36, A38, A51, A55, A68, A303, A306, A407, A422, A424, A807, A816, A97, A157, A195, A207, A503, A9, A162, A707, A305, A307, A409, A75, A812, A7, A40, A65, A71, A80, A712, A93, A28, A20, A77, A85, A158, A423, A408, and A58, respectively.
