Performance of molecular methods for identification of unusual subtypes of hepatitis C virus genotype 2
Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) displays high genetic variability, with seven genotypes and numerous subtypes. The determination of the viral type has been essential for the selection and timing of antiviral treatment. In Venezuela, HCV genotype 2 is relatively diverse, being particularly prev...
