Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are a group of viral infectious diseases that affect the liver. While they are all types of viral hepatitis, they differ in modes of transmission, genome type, incubation period, and other unique characteristics. For example, hepatitis A is transmitted through contaminated food or water and has an incubation period of 2-3 weeks. Hepatitis B has an incubation period of 2-3 months and can be transmitted sexually or through blood. Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood and has an incubation period between 2-12 weeks.
