1. Hepatitis C virus. Aspects on natural history, antibody response, and viral quantification
Abstract : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major cause of parenterally transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis, and is associated with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite the screening of blood products nosocomial spread of HCV continues to occur. READ MORE

2. Geographic and genetic diversity of hepatitis B
Abstract : Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection is a global health problem and may lead to chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. The ability of HBV to adapt to the host environment by genetic variation has lead to the evolution of 8 established (A-H) and 2 putative genotypes (I-J), each corresponding to a rather well-defined geographical distribution.

3. Hepatitis B virus infection and genomic changes from a long-term perspective
Abstract : Hepatitis B virus is a non-cytopathic virus with a small, circular, partially double-stranded DNA of 3.2 kb. It causes acute and chronic inflammatory liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Retesting of stored sera from an outbreak of acute hepatitis in 1969-72 allowed identification of 126 cases of acute hepatitis B. READ MORE

4. Viral and host determinants in hepatitis B
Abstract : The outcome of hepatitis B infection is highly variable, ranging from acute disease resulting in the elimination of infection to persistent infection that can lead to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. The factors determining the outcome in an individual are not fully known but may be classified into viral and host factors. READ MORE

5. Immune response during hepatitis B virus infection and reconstitution of HBV-specific immunity using T cells redirected against HBV
Abstract : Hepatitis B is one of the most prevalent viral diseases worldwide and is a major public health concern, particularly in Asia. Of the 350 million people suffering from chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection worldwide, approximately 75% are found in Asia. READ MORE
