Genetic diversity and evolution of hepatitis C virus in the Latin American region.

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been the subject of intense research and clinical investigations, as a consequence of the recognition of its major role in human disease. HCV evolution is a highly dynamic process. HCV exploits all known mechanisms of genetic variation, such as recombination and mutation, to ensure its survival. Like most RNA viruses, HCV circulates in vivo as a complex population of different but...
