Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The analysis of molecular phylogenies estimated from the gene sequences of sampled viruses can provide important insights into epidemiological processes. METHODS: The demographic and migration histories of the prevalent hepatitis C virus (HCV) subtypes 1a and 1b were inferred from viral gene sequences sampled in 5 countries. Estimated viral phylogenies were analyzed by use of methods based on...
