[Detection of the hepatitis A virus in fish at a fish farm].
In this study, we have researched enteroviruses in digestive tract and gills of 106 fishes from farming station, belonging to the five most eaten species in Ivory Coast (Chrisychthys walkeri, Chrisychthys nigrodigitatus, Tilapia nilotica, Tilapia guineensis, Sarotherodon melanotheron). Hepatitis A virus was found in 12 fishes (11.3%), five times in gills, three times in digestive tract and four times in both. The two species apparently the more contaminated, were Chrisychthys nigrodigitatus, Sarotherodon melanotheron with a 4.7% contamination rate for the both.
