An overview of molecular epidemiology of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in India.

Virology journal - 19 Dec 2008

Datta Sibnarayan

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the major global public health problems. In India, HBsAg prevalence among general population ranges from 2% to 8%, placing India in intermediate HBV endemicity zone and the number of HBV carriers is estimated to be 50 million, forming the second largest global pool of chronic HBV infections. India is a vast country, comprised of multiracial communities with wide variations in...
