Hepatitis A refers to viral hepatitis A. The transmission routes of viral hepatitis A include indirect transmission, food transmission, faecal mouth transmission, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Indirect transmission

Because normal people contact toys, clothing, tableware and other items contacted by hepatitis A infected persons, pathogens easily enter the body through the mouth, causing infection.

2. Food transmission

Because normal people eat foods contaminated by viral hepatitis A pathogens, such as raw marinated seafood, not fully cooked steak, seafood sashimi, etc., it is easy to cause infection.

3. Faecal mouth transmission

Because viral hepatitis A pathogens can exist in the feces of infected persons, if infected persons do not wash their hands in time after defecation, shake hands with normal people, and normal people grab food with their hands, resulting in infection.
