Abstract excerpt
The pathogenetic mechanisms of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are poorly known. An understanding of HCV biology and the potential clinical impact of HCV genetic variability is essential to managing, treating, and preventing HCV infections. HCV is a member of the Flaviviridae viral family. Its genome is a positive, single-strand RNA molecule. The structure of the HCV particles is poorly known due to the lack of...
