A backcalculation approach allows a reconstruction of the history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in France and predictions of mortality from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) related to the virus. The model uses information from the literature about the natural history of the disease, epidemiolog
Our knowledge of hepatitis C virus (HCV) dates only from by several groups, thereby establishing that it was caused by a transmissible agent. The chimpanzee provided a means of 1975, when non-A, non-B hepatitis was first recognized. It was not until 1989 that the genome of the virus was first charac
Improved understanding of hepatitis C virus (HCV) dynamics during and after liver transplantation can be useful in optimizing antiviral therapy in transplant recipients. We analyzed serum HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels during and after cadaveric liver transplantation in 6 HCV patients. After remo
## Comments Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a DNA virus that replicates through reverse transcription, encodes only 7 primary gene products: the capsid-forming core protein and the precore precursor of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), the reverse transcriptase (P protein), 3 envelope proteins (collectively
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver disease. The majority of infected individuals develop a persistent infection, which is associated with a high risk of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Since its discovery 20 years ago, progress in our understanding of
