Hepatitis C virus genotype 7, a new genotype originating from central Africa.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Mar 2015

Abstract excerpt

We report a new hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype identified in patients originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The prototype QC69 virus is shown to be a new lineage distinct from genotypes 1 to 6. Three additional patients were also found to be infected by a virus from this lineage, confirming its circulation in humans. We propose that these viruses be classified into HCV genotype 7.
