## Abstract There are eight genotypes of HBV designated A to H based on greater than 8% nucleotide variation over the entire genome. Hepadnaviruses infecting primates like the chimpanzee, orangutan and gibbon are very similar and can be regarded as genotypes of HBV. The eight genotypes of HBV show
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes can be established by methods based on PCR typing and serological typing. The accuracy of these methods depends on their sensitivity and specificity. These should be compared with the reference method, direct sequencing, and analysis of viral genomes. Among the sero
A number of different approaches have been used for genotyping hepatitis C virus (HCV). Two simplified methods were evaluated, both of which used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify products from the 5Π non-coding region of HCV: non-isotopic restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) ana
