Very little is known about the distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) within South America. To assess the exposure of the general population to this virus, a number of sera obtained from three distinct geographical and racial groups were screened using a combination of immunoassays. Initial screeni
A novel virus, GBV-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/ HGV), has been cloned and characterised recently. GBV-C/HGV global epidemiology and risk factors for acquisition are currently unclear. We aimed to establish the determinants of this infection in a rural South African (SA) population. The study populati
## Abstract Several studies had been carried out on antiβhepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in populations with blood exposure risks and in blood donors. New tests are now available which allow the inβ vestigation to extend to other parameters such as antibody type and HCVβRNA. In this study the p
## Abstract Cases of autochthonous acute hepatitis E occur in most industrialized countries and are frequent in the South West of France. The prevalence of antiβhepatitis E virus (HEV) IgG antibodies in blood donors in this area was determined. A total of 529 samples from rural and urban blood dono
## Abstract A case control study was carried out in ManhiΓ§a (Mozambique). Serum samples were collected from infants <β1 year of age in hospital to assess the effect of serum antibodies on the incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Sera were collected from a total of 31 cases of R
