Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) displays high genetic variability, with seven genotypes and numerous subtypes. The determination of the viral type has been essential for the selection and timing of antiviral treatment. In Venezuela, HCV genotype 2 is relatively diverse, being particularly prevalent subtype 2j. Objective: To evaluate the performance of methodologies for genotyping HCV, particularly for...
