Genetic Diversity of Hepatitis B Virus Genomes Isolated from Patients Attending Health Facilities in HBV-Endemic Regions in Kenya

2026-01-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the smallest partially double-stranded, reverse-transcribing DNA virus, with four open reading frames (ORFs) encoding viral proteins. It is classified into nine geographically distributed genotypes (A–I). In Kenya, the molecular characterization of HBV among patients seeking medical care remains poorly defined. <h4>Objectives:</h4> This observational study aimed to...
