E Naked H Hav Enveloped Virus Needed Envelope

HAV (Hepatitis A virus) is a non-enveloped virus and therefore survives stomach acid, unlike enveloped viruses which can be degraded; both A and E viruses are transmitted via the fecal-oral route.

HAV (Hepatit A virüsü) zarfsız bir virüstür ve bu nedenle mide asidine karşı dayanıklıdır; porównayınca, zarflı virüsler mide asidinde parçalanabilir. A ve E virüsleri fekal-oral yolla bulaşır.
