Human pegivirus (HPgV) infection in sub-Saharan Africa-A call for a renewed research agenda.

Reviews in medical virology - 1 Nov 2017

Singh Shivank, Blackard Jason T

Abstract excerpt

The human pegivirus (HPgV)-formerly GB virus C-has a beneficial impact on HIV disease progression that has been described in multiple studies. Given the high prevalence of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa and the continuing need to suppress HIV replication, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the existing data on HPgV infection in sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular focus on studies of prevalence and the...
