This document summarizes and compares key characteristics of 6 types of hepatitis viruses:
1. Hepatitis A virus is transmitted through the fecal-oral route and causes an acute infection. It is stable at high temperatures and pH.
2. Hepatitis B virus is transmitted through bodily fluids and can cause both acute and chronic infections. It is sensitive to acid and partly enveloped.
3. Hepatitis C virus is transmitted through blood and causes chronic liver disease. It is sensitive to ether and acid.
