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.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Food-borne infectionsHepatitis AHepatitis A virusImported viral diseasesOutbreaksTravelAdultEuropeFemaleHepatitis AHepatitis A virusHumansMaleMoroccoVaccinationDisease OutbreaksTravelAtribución 4.0 Internacional29991381232710.2807/1560-7917.ES.2018.23.27.18003291560-7917Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletinopen access
