Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C viruses (HCVs) display a high level of sequence diversity and are currently classified into six genotypes and an increasing number of subtypes. Most likely, this heterogeneity is caused by genetic drift; evidence for recombination is scarce. To study the molecular heterogeneity of HCV in Vietnam, we analyzed 58 HCV RNA-positive sera from Vietnamese blood donors by sequence analysis of the CORE and...
