| prevalence and molecular epidemiology of gb virus c/hepatitis g virus infection in mongolia. | we studied the prevalence of gb virus c/hepatitis g virus (gbv-c/hgv) infection among 112 patients with liver disease and 121 blood donors in ulaanbaatar, mongolia. reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction were employed to detect gbv-c/hgv rna using the specific primers derived from the 5'-untranslated region (5'-utr) of the gbv-c/hgv genome. nucleotide sequences of all positive samples for gbv-c/hgv rna were determined. the sequences were analyzed by a molecular evolutionary method. ... | 1997 | 9179759 |
