Injecting drug use: A vector for the introduction of new hepatitis C virus genotypes.

World journal of gastroenterology - 14 Oct 2015

Ruta Simona, Cernescu Costin

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes' monitoring allows real-time insight into the dynamic changes that occur in the global epidemiological picture of HCV infection. Intravenous drug use is currently the primary driver for HCV transmission in developed and developing countries.
