Phylogeography, Risk Factors and Genetic History of Hepatitis C Virus in Gabon, Central Africa

1 Aug 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The epidemiological and molecular characteristics of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the general population have been poorly investigated in Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, genotype distribution and epidemic history of HCV in the Gabonese general population. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A total of 4042 sera collected from adults in 220 villages in all nine...
