Abstract excerpt
Full length genome sequences were characterized for three novel hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates (here named DH012, DH014, and DH028). The complete genomes were all isolated from injecting drug users (IDUs) who were co-infected with HIV-1 and lived in Dehong prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, which neighbors Myanmar. The three genomes are 9,443-9,470 nt in length and each contains a single open reading frame...
