## Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection has been considered a disease associated with developing regions and attributed to oral‐fecal transmission due to inadequate sanitation. Several recent findings, however, have led to a new understanding of this virus. A number of novel isolates have bee

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriers usually have antibodies to HCV; however, there are viremic individuals without these antibodies. To investigate whether variations of the viral genome are responsible for this discrepancy, the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of HCV capsid and nonstructura

GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) is related distantly to hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV has a hypervariable region (HVR), and exists as quasispecies in vivo. Although GBV-C/HGV also has replaceable amino acids in the presumed antigenic region, the existence and fluctuation of population of het

The heterogeneity of the envelope 2 (E2) gene of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) was involved in the sensitivity of HCV to interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha). To assess the factors leading to virus eradication by IFN-alpha, patients whose first treatment by IFN-alpha failed and who had virus eradication after
