## Abstract Understanding the prevalence and diversity of HBsAg variants in a population is fundamental to assay design and planning vaccination programs. It has been shown that mutations within the S gene, caused by selection or natural variation, can lead to falseβnegative results in assays for H

## Abstract This retrospective study investigated and characterized the YMDD motif of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) reverse transcriptase (RT) gene, in sequential samples of 17 South African patients with chronic hepatitis B infection on lamivudine treatment. The profile of HBV genotypes as well as t
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-stranded RNA virus related t o the Flaviviridae family, and striking nucleotide sequence diversity has been reported among HCV isolates from different geographic areas. To study the distribution HCV genotypes among disease groups in Korea, we subtyped HCV using th
## Abstract The Yunnan province is the epicenter of HIVβ1 epidemics in China and a center for drug trafficking to the other parts of the world. In six prefectures of this province, a total of 132 IDUs were recruited to determine the seroβprevalence of HCV and HIVβ1 and the positive rates were 93.94
Hepatits C (HCV) infection is frequent among hemophilic patients treated with non-inactivated factor-concentrates. Both HCV genotype and viral load have been suggested to be important prognostic markers of disease progression and treatment outcome. In addition, co-infection with the human immunodefi
