The hepatitis A virus (HAV or also Hepatovirus A) is a picornavirus species from the family of Picornaviridae, genus Hepatovirus. It contains no capsid, leaving it unenveloped with a single-strand RNA in a protein shell. In humans, HAV can cause an acute infection of the liver also known as Hepatitis A.

Hepatitis is inflammation in the liver caused by the virus hepatitis B.
What is the virus causing hepatitis?
The hepatitis virus is actually named that particular virus for which it refers to. For example, the virus for hepatitis B is called the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and the virus for hepatitis C is called hepatitis C virus (HCV), and so on.
What pathogens cause hepatitis b?
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
What is the name of the pathogen that causes hepatitis C?
Hepatitis B is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis C is caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis B virus belongs to the family Hepadnaviridae, and the genus Orthohepadnavirus. Hepatitis C virus belongs to the family Flaviviridae, and the genus Hepacivirus.
Which hepatitis virus requires co-infection with another hepatitis virus?
Hepatitis D requires co-infection with the B type.
Which hepatitis virus lives in the gastrointestial tract?
Hepatitis A.
What type of pathogen causes hepatitis?
Hepatitis is caused by blood borne pathogens. The pathogens themselves conveniently share similar names to the type of hepatitis they cause: The pathogen that causes Hepatitus A is known as the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), the pathogen that causes Hepatitus B is known as the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and the pathogen that causes Hepatitus C is known as the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
Is hepatitis a a virus?
Yes
What is the hepatitis virus?
Not sure
Hepatitis virus comes under which type of virus?
Several diseases of the liver, collectively known as hepatitis, are caused by viruses. The viruses involved, five of which have been reasonably well characterized, come from a wide range of virus families. Hepatitis A virus is a picornavirus, a small single strand RNA virus; hepatitis B virus belongs to the hepadnavirus family of double stranded DNA viruses; hepatitis C virus is a flavivirus, a single stand RNA virus; hepatitis E, also an RNA virus, is similar to a calicivirus. Hepatitis D which is also known as Delta agent is a circular RNA that is more similar to a plant a viroid than a complete virus.
What antibodies are tested for by Selectogen I and II?
Selectogen I tests for IgG antibodies to hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus core antigen, and hepatitis B surface antigen. Selectogen II tests for IgG antibodies to hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B core antigen, and hepatitis B surface antigen.
Is hepatitis a bacteria protist fungi or a virus?
Hepatitis A or B or C involves an infection of the liver caused by a virus.
