Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 4 in Ugandan Children and Their Mothers
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 In Kampala, Uganda, in 2001, hepatitis C virus antibodies were found in 27 (4%) of 603 children and in 62 (12%) of 525 of their mothers. However, only ≈10% of positive results were confirmed by reverse transcription–PCR, which suggests frequent false ...

TRUGENE sequencing versus INNO-LiPA for sub-genotyping of HCV genotype-4
Journal of Medical Virology, 2004 Hepatitis C virus genotypes and subtypes determination is an important factor for understanding the epidemiology of the virus, in the pre-treatment evaluation of the patients and in defining better treatment strategies. In the present study, we compared two commercially available assays for HCV genotyping: the reverse hybridization based Innogenetics ...

Genotypic and Sub-genotypic Diversity of Avian Paramyxoviruses 2, 4 and 6
The Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2021 Avian paramyxoviruses (APMVs) are contagious viruses infecting multiple avian species around the globe. Subsequent to evolution, the emergence of new strains is considered to cause outbreaks worldwide. Using standard classification criteria, genotypic and sub-genotypic distribution of strains within APMV-1 is much elucidated across the globe ...
