Abstract excerpt

The eight genotypes of hepatitis B virus (HBV), A-H, have a characteristic geographical distribution. The high prevalence of genotype E within a wide expanse of Africa makes it important to characterize this genotype. Although the preS/S region of a large number of genotype E isolates has been sequenced, to date only eight complete genotype E genomes have been published. The aim of this study, therefore, was to...
