Most interviewed travel-related cases were unaware of the hepatitis A risk in Morocco. Molecular analysis revealed two distinct hepatitis A virus (HAV) strains (subgenotype IA DK2018_231; subgenotype IB V18-16428). Vaccination recommendations should be emphasised to increase awareness among non-immune travellers to Morocco and HAV-endemic countries.enArchived with thanks to Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletinhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ArticleEuro Surveill 2018; 23(27)
