Polygenetic analysis of HAV isolates within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s US HAV database. The genomic regions are the 315-bp long HAV VP1/P2B (viral protein 1/amino terminus of 2B). Black squares indicate isolates from the outbreak of HAV transmitted through a combined liver–small intestine–pancreas transplantation, Texas, USA, 2014–2015. Scale bar indicates nucleotide variation. HAV, hepatitis A virus.
