Hepatitis B virus: the genotype E puzzle.

Reviews in medical virology - 1 Jul 2009

Andernach Iris E, Hübschen Judith M, Muller Claude P

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly endemic throughout sub-Saharan Africa. One of the two genotypes A and E dominates in most countries. With several subgenotypes and variants, genotype A is more diverse in Africa (4.00%) than in the rest of the world (2.96%), suggesting an African origin and a long history on the continent. Despite the African slave trade, genotype E has only sporadically been found within the...
