Characterization of Hepatitis B virus based complete genome analysis improves molecular surveillance and enables identification of a recombinant C/D strain in the Netherlands

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is classified into 10 HBV genotypes (A-J) based a >7.5 % divergence within the complete genome or a >4 % divergence in the S-gene. In addition, recombinant strains with common breakpoints at the gene boundaries of the preS1/preS2/S- and preC/C-gene are often identified....
