The occurrence of GBV-C/HGV infection was studied in 160 individuals from two high-risk groups in Singapore. RT-PCR of the 5ะ-UTR detected GBV-C/HGV RNA in 3/73 (4.1%) of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis for chronic renal failure, and in 17/87 (19.5%) of patients coinfected with HCV who

โฆ Synopsis
A bwamba group virus was isolated from the blood of a febrile child on the Kano Plain, Kenya. The isolate (NY-45), closely resembling Bwamba, established infection in both Anopheles gambiae and Mansonia uniformis. Neither the Bwamba nor the Pongola prototype strains grew in both species. In gel-diffusion tests NY-45 virus passaged through mosquitoes exhibited a line of identity with Pongola antiserum. In contrast no cross-reaction was observed with NY-45 virus which had not previously been passaged through mosquitoes.
