seroprevalence and genotyping of hepatitis b, hepatitis c and hiv among healthy population and turkish soldiers in northern cyprus.to compare the prevalence of hepatitis viral markers among soldiers from turkey, blood donors from northern cyprus, and soldiers from northern cyprus.200617106927
near-full genome characterization of unclassified hepatitis c virus strains relating to genotypes 1 and 4.near-full genome sequences are presented in this report for the first time of unclassified hcv strains amplified using rt-pcr from plasma of patients living in cyprus. one strain appears to be a unique genotype-1-like isolate, displaying closer phylogenetic relationship to genotype 1 strains than other genotypes. two isolates representing an unclassified variant of genotype 4 were also amplified, cases of which have been found elsewhere in the world in patients of central african origin and coul ...201122012719
hepatitis c infection among intravenous drug users attending therapy programs in cyprus.the most high-risk population for hcv transmission worldwide today are intravenous drug users. hcv genotypes in the general population in cyprus demonstrate a polyphyletic infection and include subtypes associated with intravenous drug users. the prevalence of hcv, hbv, and hiv infection, hcv genotypes and risk factors among intravenous drug users in cyprus were investigated here for the first time. blood samples and interviews were obtained from 40 consenting users in treatment centers, and wer ...201020029809
molecular epidemiology of hepatitis c infection in cyprus: evidence of polyphyletic infection.the genetic diversity of the hepatitis c virus (hcv) in cyprus is investigated for the first time in this study. nucleotide sequence analysis of the core-e1 and ns5b regions of the hcv genome was performed on blood plasma samples obtained from 77 hcv patients in cyprus, collected during 2005-2008. the amplified products were sequenced and compared to reference hcv strains of known genotype and subtype in order to classify the isolates found in this study. genotype could be determined for all str ...200919107977
