Research Article: Identification of the Genotypes Circulating in the Ecuadorian Population Infected with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
Introduction:
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus of approximately nucleotides in length. The NSB gene is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase located between the and base pairs; this gene lacks proofreading ability. Therefore, HCV represents a remarkable genetic diversity that divides HCV into genotypes and subgenotypes. ,
