To determine the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype distribution in Taiwan and to clarify the relationship between genotype and the pathogenesis of HCV infection, 1,164 subjects positive for serum HCV antibodies and HCV RNA from three HCV hyperendemic areas (Masago, Tzukuan, and Taoyuan) and a tertiar
## Abstract Sequence variation in the envelope E1 and E2 glycoproteins of hepatitis C virus (HCV) could account for differences in disease pathogenesis in patients infected with different genotypes. A cDNA encoding the structural region of the hepatitis C polyprotein was constructed to match the ma
A pilot survey of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Nigeria was carried out on healthy adult blood donors and children of preschool age. Sixteen of 200 (8%) donors were positive for antibodies using a second generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) but all of the children were negativ
In nonendemic areas, most patients with acute hepatitis E were infected through traveling to endemic areas. However, some patients did not have a history of foreign travel before infection. Furthermore, high seroprevalence rates of antibody to hepatitis E virus (anti-HEV) were found in the general a
