Excerpt
Not much is known about the extent of Hepatitis A virus (HAV) contamination among Philippine communities, according to researchers, prompting an urgent call for further research and monitoring efforts. Scientists from the Ateneo de Manila University, the University of the Philippines, Monash University Malaysia Selangor, and the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources noted that little is known about how HAV spreads through local communities via commonly-cultivated shellfish such as oysters and mollusks.
