摘要
The age-specific prevalence of hepatitis A antibodies has been analyzed using a catalytic epidemic model for populations in seven European countries: West Germany, Norway, Greece, Switzerland, Holland, France and Sweden. The results Indicate a significant decline In the force of infection in recent decades. However, there are substantial differences between the countries, especially between the Scandinavian countries and Greece. The Incidence of hepatitis A in Norway and Sweden has declined since 1930, while a downward trend In Incidence In Greece may have started only recently. © 1979 by The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health.
