Prevalence and Molecular Diversity of Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis Delta Virus in Urban and Rural Populations in Northern Gabon in Central Africa

14 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen was significantly higher in urban (12.9%) than in rural (7.6%) populations (P = 0.003), but no difference was found in the prevalence of hepatitis delta virus (HDV), which was high in both populations. Phylogenetic analysis showed the circulation of HBV-A3 and -E genotypes and the presence of HDV-1, HDV-7, and HDV-8 clades.
