Presence of enteric hepatitis viruses in the sewage and population of Greater Cairo kamel2011presence
This study conducted a survey of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) in patients and sewage in Cairo, Egypt. The study found that HAV (genotype IB) was predominant over HEV (genotype 3) and was circulating in the population and the environment. The study involved analyzing patient samples for HAV viral load and genotype, as well as measuring bilirubin levels. The reference event for the measurements was symptom onset or diagnosis.

Measurements only — no shedding model is fitted to this analyte, usually because it is sampled once per participant, leaving no trajectory to fit, or because nothing was ever detected. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the assay's censoring limit. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
