Shift in the hepatitis B virus genotype distribution in the last decade among the HBV carriers from eastern India: possible effects on the disease status and HBV epidemiology.

Abstract excerpt

In a previous study from eastern India, the prevalence of HBV/C has been increasing among the blood donors. In order to analyze whether there has been any shift in HBV genotype distributions in recent years, the HBV genotypes prevalent during the periods 2000-2002 (Group-I; n=176) and 2007-2009 (Group-II; n=203) were compared, with special attention to changes in the proportion of HBV/C. The rate of prevalence of...
