Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus Genotypes in Asymptomatic Blood Donors in NCT of Delhi
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.7439/ijbar.v6i4.1900Abstract
Hepatitis C virus shows high genomic diversity which poses a challenge for drug therapy and vaccine development. Here, we present a study on prevalence of HCV genotypes and subtypes in blood donors of Delhi. Forty two HCV samples were taken from blood bags found positive at various blood banks located in Delhi. From these samples 5Downloads
