Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global public health problem. The implementation of public health interventions (PHI) to control HCV infection could effectively interrupt HCV transmission. PHI targeting high-risk populations, e.g., people who ...
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has the lymphotropic feature that is supposed to be the reason of related extrahepatic manifestation. HCV viral oncoproteins may participate in the regulation of some gene expression that has been implicated in tum...
BACKGROUND: Identification of acute or recent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections is important for detecting outbreaks and devising timely public health interventions for interruption of transmission. Epidemiological investigations and chemistry-based...

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 4 infection is most commonly reported in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East; however, prevalence is increasing worldwide through immigration. HCV genotype 4 accounts for 20% of all infections, but clin...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a severe public health problem affecting nearly 3% of the world population. Of those affected, approximately 80% develop chronic infections. Initiating treatment through HCV RNA testing remains challenging, especi...
Hepatitis C virus infection is a significant global health concern, affecting millions worldwide. Although direct-acting antivirals achieve over 90% success rate, treatment failures still occur, particularly when pan-genotypic DAAs are unavailable, a...
