The prevalence of mixed genotype infections in Polish patients with hepatitis C
Objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype has been described as an independent predictor of the response to therapy. A mixed infection with two types of HCV is probably an uncommon event.

Challenge pools of hepatitis C virus genotypes 1-6 prototype strains: replication fitness and pathogenicity in chimpanzees and human liver-chimeric mouse models [PDF]
Chimpanzees represent the only animal model for studies of the natural history of hepatitis C virus (HCV). To generate virus stocks of important HCV variants, we infected chimpanzees with HCV strains of genotypes 1-6 and determined the infectivity titer ...

HCV non-1b genotypes in injecting drug users from Romania
Introduction: Chronic hepatitis C cases diagnosed in Romania were mostly related to unsafe parenteral treatments and blood transfusions; HCV genotype 1b was prevalent. During the last decade, an increasing number of HCV infections was reported among people who inject drugs (PWID).

Genotype-specific versus pangenotypic regimens in patients infected with HCV genotype 1b in real-world settings [PDF]
Introduction The introduction of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) has provided us with hope to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as a significant public health problem in the coming years. Objective Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety between genotype-specific and pangenotypic regimens in GT1b infected patients treated in

The role of different virus genotypes in progression of chronic hepatitis C [PDF]
The relation between HCV genotypes and the progression of chronic hepatitis is still unknown. Some studies implied more pathogenic effect of genotype 1b for the severity of liver inflammation.

NS5A Resistance-Associated Substitutions in Patients with Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Virus:Prevalence and Effect on Treatment Outcome [PDF]
Background & Aims The efficacy of NS5A inhibitors for the treatment of patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) can be affected by the presence of NS5A resistance-associated substitutions (RASs).

Hepatitis C virus cell-cell transmission and resistance to direct-acting antiviral agents [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted between hepatocytes via classical cell entry but also uses direct cell-cell transfer to infect neighboring hepatocytes.
