Molecular Epidemiology of HIV-1 in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan
We conducted this study to obtain a comprehensive picture of molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in three neighboring countries, i.e. Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan as a basis for discussing possible hypothesis regarding between-country virus transmission. Our results showed that subtype composition differs between these countries with more variation in Pakistan than Iran and Afghanistan. The CRF3...
متن کاملMolecular Adaptation of Modern Human Populations
