Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis D virus (HDV) obtained from a chronic asymptomatic HDV/HBsAg carrier (SZ 93) in Sichuan province was cloned with 1,684 nucleotides in full-length genome by reverse transcription-PCR. Comparison of SZ 93 with those obtained from different geographic area: i.e., Italia, United States, British, Nauru, Taiwan, Netherland, showed 81.8%-95.4% homology in nucleotide sequence of whole genome, 88.9%-96.1%...
