Novel hepatitis B virus subgenotype in the southern Yunnan Province of China.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is highly prevalent in China. To identify the genotypes of HBV in the southern Yunnan Province of China, full-length HBV genomes were extracted from 1 Dai and 4 Hani HBV carriers and linked with the pMD T-18 vector. For each patient, 3-10 clones were sequenced directly and a consensus sequence was created. Genotypic and serotypic analysis revealed 4 HBV/B (2 B2...
متن کاملSubgenotype reclassification of genotype B hepatitis B virus
BACKGROUND Nine subgenotypes from genotype B have been identified for hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, these subgenotypes were less conclusive as they were often designated based on a few representative strains. In addition, subgenotype B6 was designated twice for viruses of different origin. METHODS All complete genome sequences of genotype B HBV were phylogenetically analyzed. Sequence div...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Genotype Diversity among Intravenous Drug Users in Yunnan Province, Southwestern China
BACKGROUND Recently, high proportions (15.6%-98.7%) of intravenous drug users (IDUs) in China were found to be positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV). Yunnan Province is located in southwestern China and borders one of the world's most important opium-producing regions, thus it is an important drug trafficking route to other regions of China. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we assessed 100...
متن کاملA Novel Complex A/C/G Intergenotypic Recombinant of Hepatitis B Virus Isolated in Southern China
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes and subgenotypes may vary in geographical distribution and virological features. Previous investigations, including ours, showed that HBV genotypes B and C were respectively predominant in South and North China, while genotypes A and D were infrequently detected and genotype G was not found. In this study, a novel A/C/G intergenotype was identified in patients ...
متن کاملFunctional significance of hepatitis B virus subgenotype Cs genomic markers.
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection increases the risk of developing primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); about one million people die from HBV-related diseases annually. Development of new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic HBV infection is important. In a case-control study to identify markers in the HBV genome that can be associated with HCC development, the compl...
