Molecular evolution of hepatitis B virus over 25 years.

Abstract excerpt

Determining the longitudinal molecular evolution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is difficult due to HBV's genomic complexity and the need to study paired samples collected over long periods of time. In this study, serial samples were collected from eight hepatitis B virus e antigen-negative asymptomatic carriers of HBV genotype B in 1979 and 2004, thus providing a 25-year period to document the long-term molecular...
