Hepatitis B virus genotype E variability in Africa.

Journal of clinical virology : the official publication of the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology - 1 Dec 2008

Hübschen Judith M, Andernach Iris E, Muller Claude P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, genotype E is the predominant genotype throughout a vast region spanning from Senegal to Namibia and extending to the Central African Republic in the East. Despite its wide geographic distribution and the high prevalence throughout this genotype E crescent, this genotype has a very low genetic diversity. OBJECTIVES: Here we review our current understanding of genotype E...
