Phylogenetic analysis of hepatitis C virus isolates indicates a unique pattern of endemic infection in Cameroon.

The Journal of general virology - 1 Sept 2003

Ndjomou Jean, Pybus Oliver G, Matz Bertfried

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a blood-borne pathogen that poses a significant threat to public health worldwide. The genetic diversity and distribution of HCV genotypes in non-Western countries, particularly subSaharan Africa, is poorly documented. This study reports a phylogenetic analysis of core and NS5B gene sequences of 37 HCV strains sampled in Cameroon. A high level of genetic diversity of both genotypes 1...
