Unravelling the evolutionary relationships of hepaciviruses within and across rodent hosts

2020-10-09

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV; genus Hepacivirus ) represents a major public health problem, infecting about 3 % of the human population ( ± 185,000,000 people). Because no plausible animal reservoir carrying closely related hepaciviruses has been identified, the zoonotic origins of HCV still remain elusive. Motivated by recent findings of divergent hepaciviruses in rodents and a plausible African origin of HCV genotyp...
