Hepatitis C in North Africa: A Comprehensive Review of Epidemiology, Genotypic Diversity, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvances in Virology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is implicated in carcinogenic infections like hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Given that no HCV vaccine is currently available, comprehensive epidemiological understanding is crucial for devising effective prevention strategies.

Reconstruction of the historic time course of blood‐borne virus contamination of clotting factor concentrates, 1974–1992

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Factor VIII and IX clotting factor concentrates manufactured from pooled plasma have been identified as potent sources of virus infection in persons with hemophilia (PWHs) in the 1970s and 1980s. To investigate the range and diversity of viruses over this period, we analysed 24 clotting factor concentrates for several blood‐borne viruses ...

Chronic equine hepacivirus infection in an adult gelding with severe hepatopathy [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, 2019
AbstractBackground: Equine hepacivirus (EqHV) in equids represents the closest homologue to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infecting humans. A majority ofHCVinfected patients develop a chronic course of infection leading to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure. However, in horses mostly transient mild subclinical infections are reported for EqHVto date.

Seroepidemiology of non-primate hepacivirus (NPHV) in Japanese native horses

open access: goldJournal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2017
Non-primate hepacivirus (NPHV) is recently identified as a closely related homologue of hepatitis C virus. The previous studies showed a high prevalence of NPHV infection among Japanese domestic horses originated from abroad. The historical distribution of NPHV among horses in Japan, therefore, is still unknown. In this study, seroepidemiological study
