Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has high genomic variability and, since its discovery, at least six different types and an increasing number of sub-types have been reported. Genotype 1 is the most prevalent genotype found in South America. Recent phylogenetic analysis of strains isolated in Uruguay revealed the presence of a different genetic lineage from major sub-types 1a and 1b. In order to study if type 1 HCV strains...
