Slave trade and hepatitis B virus genotypes and subgenotypes in Haiti and Africa.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

In Haiti, >90% of the population descended from African slaves. Of 7,147 Haitian pregnant women sampled, 44% of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections were caused by genotype A1, which today is found mainly in eastern Africa. Twenty percent belong to a rare subgenotype, A5, which has been found only in the former Bight of Benin, a former primary slave trading post. Haitian A subgenotypes appear to have separated...
