5. 3. Geographic and genetic diversity of hepatitis B

   Author : Erik Alestig; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hepatitis B virus; genotype; phylogeny; molecular epidemiology; sequence analysis; mutation;

   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.

7. 5. Molecular epidemiology of hepatitis A and hepatitis B virus in central America

   Author : Patricia Arauz-Ruiz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The genetic variability was determined for hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains from cases of acute and chronic hepatitis in Central America (CA). The genetic relatedness was established for the' strains to strains from other parts of the world. READ MORE
