Objective Better knowledge of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection prevalence at the national
level can help to implement pertinent strategies to address HBV related burden. The aim …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a disease of global public health significance with
mortality on the rise, despite the preventable nature of its risk factors especially in Africa. It is …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is divided into nine genotypes, A to I. Currently, it remains unclear
how the individual genotypes contribute to the estimated 250 million chronic HBV infections …

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is known to be high in West Africa with an
approximate yearly mortality rate of 200000. Several factors are responsible for this. Early …

Background: Gaps remain in the detection of nucleic acid test (NAT) yield and occult
hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) by current HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) assays. The …

Background In Cameroon, the prevention of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission by blood
transfusion is still only based on hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) screening. However …

Surveillance of emerging viral variants is critical to ensuring that blood screening and
diagnostic tests detect all infections regardless of strain or geographic location. In this study …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) immune escape and Pol/RT mutations account for HBV
immunoprophylactic, therapeutic, and diagnostic failure globally. Little is known about …

Objectives In this study, we monitored the seroprevalence of HBV-HDV co-infection in
different population groups in the Western part of Burkina Faso, and described the genetic …

Summary Objectives Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) share
common routes of blood-borne transmission. In HBV mono-infected Sudanese individuals …
