Hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2015 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) results in more lost years of life and more illness than any infectious disease in Ontario.[1][1] Screening individuals born between 1945 and 1965 using an anti-HCV antibody test is currently recommended in the United States.[2][2] A similar approach appears to be cost-

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2019 Replication and amplification of the viral genome is a key process for all viruses. For hepatitis C virus (HCV), a positive-strand RNA virus, amplification of the viral genome requires the synthesis of a negative-sense RNA template, which is in turn used for the production of new genomic RNA. This process is governed by numerous proteins, both host and

Receptors for Hepatitis C Virus
Journal of Virology, 2000 The nature of the receptors enabling hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into cells has been the subject of debate. On one hand, ligand panning with recombinant HCV envelope protein has identified CD81, a member of the tetraspanin superfamily of proteins, as a direct ligand for the E2 glycoprotein (7) but fails to explain virus tropism.

Recombination in Hepatitis C Virus [PDF]
Viruses, 2011 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a Flavivirus with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome of about 9,600 nucleotides. It is a major cause of liver disease, infecting almost 200 million people all over the world. Similarly to most RNA viruses, HCV displays very high levels of genetic diversity which have been used to differentiate six major genotypes ...

Hepatitis C Virus in Pregnancy [PDF]
American Journal of Perinatology, 2013 Despite recent advances in the pathogenesis, treatment, and public health response to hepatitis C virus (HCV), HCV as it specifically relates to pregnancy has been a neglected condition. HCV-monoinfected pregnant women have a 2-8% risk of viral transmission to their infant, but the mechanism and timing of mother to child transmission (MTCT) are not ...
