RESUMO
An outbreak of infection with hepatitis A virus associated with a foodhandler and involving 26 subjects occurred in Southern Italy. Sequence analysis of the VP3-VP1 and VP1-P2A junctions confirmed that the outbreak was due to a point source and allowed the identification of a new genotype IB variant. This report confirms the usefulness of sequence-based molecular fingerprinting during outbreaks.
