The hepatitis C virus epidemic in Cameroon: Genetic evidence for rapid transmission between 1920 and 1960

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Cameroon is characterized by widespread seropositivity and great virus genetic diversity (3 genotypes and over 10 subtypes). A total of 244 HCV NS5B sequences of 382–405 bp long (95 type 1, 58 type 2, and 91 type 4) were phylogenetically analyzed to estimate the...
