“…These results also suggest the transition pattern of HAV from high to intermediate endemicity, probably for the whole of Tunisia, previously classified among countries with high endemicity [19]. Similar epidemiological changes, associated with improved living conditions, are now being observed in many developing countries from the MENA region, such as Algeria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and Egypt [13,14,[37][38][39][40] as well as others countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America [10-16, 34, 35, 41-48]. Since older patients are usually symptomatic, the higher occurrence of infection during adolescence and adulthood results in an increased number of symptomatic cases and may lead to serious outbreaks.…”

“… Martins et al (2015) also confirmed these reports in their study on environmental sanitation and mortality associated with waterborne diseases in Brazilian children, concluding that the most significant health hazards related to water pollution were found in the rural communities characterized by a high concentration of low-income population with limited education. Furthermore, similar studies conducted in Algeria and Bangladesh by Guenifi et al (2017) and Parvez et al (2019) , respectively, also reported a lower seroprevalence rate within households with a higher educational level, further confirming the significance of educational level to the degree of waterborne disease prevalence.…”

“…Many other countries experienced also similar epidemiological changes related to progress in sanitation and socioeconomic conditions. Reports from Middle East and North Africa countries showed a decrease in hepatitis A prevalence compared to previous estimates 8,41,45,46,52‐58 . These studies revealed a shift in hepatitis A incidence among young age groups and an increasing in the number of symptomatic cases among adolescents and adults in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Algeria, Iran, and Turkey 8,41,45,46,53,53,54,57,57,58 .…”
