Abstract excerpt
Three genotypes of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) have been identified, each with different geographic distributions and disease associations. To better define the geographic distribution and genetic variability of HDV genotype I, and to evaluate the extent of genome variability in populations with different patterns of HDV infection, we have analyzed the sequence of HDV RNA in the sera of 72 patients from different...
