An age-structured model of hepatitis B viral infection highlights the potential of different therapeutic strategies [PDF]
Hepatitis B virus is a global health threat, and its elimination by 2030 has been prioritised by the World Health Organisation. Here we present an age-structured model for the immune response to an HBV infection, which takes into account contributions from both cell-mediated and humoral immunity.

Rising Mortality Associated With Hepatitis C Virus in the United States, 2003-2013.
In the United States, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated mortality is increasing. From 2003-2013, the number of deaths associated with HCV has now surpassed 60 other nationally notifiable infectious conditions combined.

Mathematical analysis of an extended cellular model of the Hepatitis C Virus infection with non-cytolytic process [PDF]
The aims of this work is to analyse of the global stability of the extended model of hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection with cellular proliferation, spontaneous cure and hepatocyte homeostasis. We first give general information about hepatitis C. Secondly, We prove the existence of local, maximal and global solutions of the model and establish some ...

A Markov model for the spread of Hepatitis C [PDF]
We propose a Markov model for the spread of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) among drug users who use injections. We then proceed to an asymptotic analysis (large initial population) and show that the Markov process is close to the solution of a non linear autonomous differential system.

In 2015, a national Egyptian health issue survey was conducted to describe the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In this paper, we describe the HCV burden in 2015, compare the results with the national survey conducted in 2008, and discuss

Replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated with the induction of oxidative stress, which is thought to play a major role in various liver pathologies associated with chronic hepatitis C.

Global Stability analysis of a cellular model of Hepatitis C Virus infection under treatment [PDF]
In this paper, we present the global analysis of a HCV model under therapy. We prove that the solutions with positive initial values are global, positive, bounded and not display periodic orbits. In addition, we show that the model is globally asymptotically stable, by using appropriate Lyapunov functions.

Hepatitis C virus infection in children and adolescents
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a major public health burden, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 2.5% of the population (177.5 million infected adults); this ranges from 1.3% in the Americas to 2.9% in Africa.1 In the United States alone,
