All of these viruses like Hep A, B or C have matching proteins that work like a docking stations. They have one that fits just so with the one on the liver cell. Other viruses work the same way. The influenza virus affects the cells of the respiratory tract. Chickenpox viruses affect the skin but also the nerves.

What is true about hepatitis b and a?

Hepat= liver itis= swelling, inflammation Thus: hepatitis= swelling or inflammation of the liver. There is also Hep C which is very hard and in some cases impossible to cure, and Hep C has no vaccine. Fortunately it is more rare to contract Hep C (mostly IV drug users or unprotected anal sex).
