متن کاملSequence and Phylogenetic Analysis of Membrane (M) Gene of Infectious Bronchitis Viruses Isolated in Iran during 2014 - 2015
Background and Aims: Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) has a worldwide distribution and mutations occurring in the large viral genome of IBV have led to extensive antigenic variations among IBVs. This is the first study conducted to determine the complete membrane (M) gene sequences of different Iranian IBV genotypes. Materials and Methods: The M gene of three 793/B (IBKG1,6,7), one Mass...
متن کاملSequence-based genotyping of hepatitis B virus in general popula-tion
Background: Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) causes acute and chronic liver disease worldwide. HBV has eight genotypes (A to H) which is the reflection of its genome with their characteristic geographical distribution. Each genotype could have different pathogenic and therapeutic characteristics. There have been few records on HBV genotyping in general population from our region. This study aimed to...

Introduction: Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a 35 nm in diameter agent that depends on hepatitis B surface antigen in order to proliferate and accumulate. Infection with delta agent can occur spontaneously with hepatitis B virus infection and it cause acute hepatitis or develop as secondary infection in the patients with hepatitis B. Hepatitis D virus (HDV) has several genotypes based on genome seq...
