Abstract excerpt

Local clustering of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been demonstrated in various regions in Japan. HCV genotypes have now been compared between infected individuals from districts of Saga prefecture with either a high (H district) or low (L district) prevalence of HCV-seropositivity. The pr...
