The 2005 consensus proposal for the classification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) presented an
agreed and uniform nomenclature for HCV variants and the criteria for their assignment into …

Background The hepatitis C virus (HCV) genomic database is expanding rapidly. Aims
There is a need to provide an updated phylogenetic tree analysis based on the complete …

Unlike hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 6, which is widely circulated in Southeast Asia
and South China, GT 6 was not reported in Taiwan until 2006. GT 1b and 2a, also known as …

Recently, we studied hepatitis C virus (HCV) sera‐prevalence among 559 890 first‐time
volunteer blood donors in China. From randomly selected 450 anti‐HCV positive donors, we …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Persistent infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes extrahepatic
diseases, including diabetes. We investigated the possible effect (s) of HCV replication on …

We characterized the full-length genomes of 22 hepatitis C virus genotype 6 (HCV-6)
isolates: 10 from Vietnam (classified into subtypes 6e, 6h, 6p, 6r, 6s, and 6u), one from …

In this study, we characterized full-length hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome sequences for 11
genotype 2 isolates. They were isolated from the sera of 11 patients residing in Canada, of …

We characterized a novel group of HCV variants that are genetically related but distinct from
each other belonging to genotype 6 (HCV-6). From 26 infected Austronesian-descended …

BACKGROUND: Although hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 6 is classified into 21 subtypes,
6a–6u, new variants continue to be identified. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the full-length …

We characterized the full-length genomes of five distinct hepatitis C virus (HCV)-3 isolates.
These represent the first complete genomes for subtypes 3g and 3h, the second such …
