Genotypes 1, 2, and 3 of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) are widely distributed throughout Western countries and the Far East ( Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand). Types 5 and 6 are mainly confined to South Africa and Southeast Asia, respectively, in contrast to type 4, which is predominant in the Middle E
## Abstract To determine hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype distribution in China, a total of 148 HCV RNA positive serum samples were collected from nine geographic areas and subjected to RTβPCR followed by direct DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the core, E1, and NS5B regions. HCV was gen
