Among the three recently described GB viruses (GBV-A, GBV-B, and GBV-C), only GBV-C has been linked to cryptogenic hepatitis in man. Because of the limited utility of currently available research tests to determine antibody response t o GBV-C proteins, the prevalence of GBV-C RNA in human sera was s

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is known to circulate in vivo as a quasispecies, a population of closely related, but genetically nonidentical virions. HCV reverse transcriptase (RT)-(nested) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategies are used to study quasispecies diversity at certain important viral g

## Abstract The mean prevalence of anti‐hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Italy is 0.87%. It reaches 2% in Campania, Southern Italy. Approximately 50% of community acquired non‐A, non‐B (NANB) hepatitis cannot be associated with known parenteral exposure. A recent Italian study has shown that the only dem
