## Abstract The high frequency of mutation during hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has resulted in 8 genotypes (A–H) with varying effects on disease severity and treatment efficacy. However, analysis of intrapatient HBV diversity is limited, especially during HIV co‐infection. Therefore, a prelimi

The prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was determined in a community-based, cross-sectional, age-stratified sample of children from 0 to 6 years of age (n = 2,299) from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The purpose of the study was to investigate the epidemiology and the age
## Abstract This was an exploratory study to investigate lamivudine‐resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains in selected lamivudine‐naïve HBV carriers with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co‐infection in South African patients. Thirty‐five lamivudine‐naïve HBV infected patients with
## Abstract HIV infection has a significant impact on the natural progression of liver disease caused by infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), but its role in the molecular evolution of HBV is unknown. It is difficult to study the molecular evolution of HBV longitudinally considering its genomic
Isolates of hepatitis A virus (HAV) are of a single serotype, with human isolates being categorised within four genotypes. In addition, there are three genotypes exclusively associated with Old World monkeys. In some geographical regions, related isolates cluster suggesting endemic spread of the vir
## Abstract There is limited data on the patterns of HBV mutation in family contacts of chronic liver disease (CLD) patients in India. DNA sequence analysis is an important tool to study this viral epidemiology. Transmission and prevalence of mutations in the S and pre‐C gene region in HBV infected
