Abstract excerpt
GBV-C is a non-pathogenic virus that is largely dispersed in different human populations. The phylogenetic analysis of the 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR) of the GBV-C genome has led to the segregation of viral strains into six genotypes, but incongruent results are frequently obtained depending on the genome region analyzed. In this report, different phylogenetic approaches and multivariate statistics were...
