## Abstract In hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐endemic countries, the majority of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arises in HBV carriers. High frequency of mutations at nucleotides 1762(A→T) and 1764(G→A) in the core promoter region have been described in HCC. Due to the differences in genetic backgrounds,

## Abstract Although no outbreaks of hepatitis E have been reported in Mongolia, a significant proportion of the general population had antibodies to hepatitis E virus (HEV). To investigate whether pigs are possible reservoirs of HEV in Mongolia, serum samples obtained from 243 2‐ or 3‐month‐old pi
## Abstract Molecular evolutionary patterns of 62 HBV full‐length genomes obtained from Belgian patients were characterized. Phylogenetic analysis revealed diverse HBV subgenotypes including A2 and A6 (46.8%), D1–D4 (38.8%), E (9.7%), C1 (1.6%), and B2 (1.6%). The study population consisted of pati
## Abstract Among six known subgenotypes (IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, and IIIB) of human hepatitis A virus (HAV), the complete genomic sequence has not been determined for IIIB. In this study, the full‐length genomic sequence of a IIIB HAV isolate (HA‐JNG06‐90F) recovered from a Japanese patient who co
There are many factors leading to intrauterine infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV). These factors include viral structure, HBV mutations, HBV DNA level, placenta barrier, immune status of the mother, and susceptibility of the fetus. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible relati
