identification of hepatitis c virus subtype 2c by sequencing analysis in patients from córdoba, argentina.in argentina, most information on hepatitis c virus (hcv) genotype distribution comes from studies carried out in buenos aires (east province). in order to identify hcv subtypes in central argentina, nucleotide sequencing of core region was performed in samples from 36 patients living in córdoba, the second most populated province of argentina. the sequence analysis identified subtype 2c as the most prevalent (50%), followed by subtype 1b (33%) and to a lesser extent by subtypes 1a (11%), 3a (3% ...200718209940
phylodynamics of hepatitis c virus subtype 2c in the province of córdoba, argentina.the hepatitis c virus genotype 2 subtype 2c (hcv-2c) is detected as a low prevalence subtype in many countries, except in southern europe and western africa. the current epidemiology of hcv in argentina, a low-prevalence country, shows the expected low prevalence for this subtype. however, this subtype is the most prevalent in the central province of córdoba. cruz del eje (cde), a small rural city of this province, shows a prevalence for hcv infections of 5%, being 90% of the samples classified ...201121611129
hepatitis c virus genotypes in córdoba, argentina. unexpected high prevalence of genotype 2.to determine hepatitis c virus (hcv) genotypes circulating in the central region of argentina, 96 consecutive anti-hcv positive subjects were studied. the presence of hcv rna was detected in 60 samples by rt-nested pcr of the 5' noncoding region (5' ncr). genotyping was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of 5' ncr region combined with pcr using type-specific primers of the core region. the groups of individuals in this study included hemophilia and hemodialysis patien ...200312876903
