Global change in hepatitis C virus prevalence and cascade of care between 2015 and 2020: a modelling study.
current trends. METHODS: This analysis includes a literature review, Delphi process, and mathematical modelling to estimate HCV prevalence (viraemic infection, defined as HCV RNA-positive cases) and the cascade of ...

Challenges to Differentiate Hepatitis C Genotype 1 and 6: Results from A Field-Study in Cambodia.
interpretable genotype result: 1b (50.5%), 6 non-a/non-b (30.1%), 1a (6.8%), 6a or b (4.9%), 2 (3.9%), 1 (2.9%) and 3 (1.0%). For 16 samples that were interpreted as genotype 1 or 1b per Versant’s current ...
Distribution of HCV genotypes in Belgium from 2008 to 2015.
infections. Genotype 6 and 7 comprise the remaining <1%. Throughout the years, a stable distribution was observed for most genotypes. Only for genotype 5, a decrease as a function of the year of analysis was ...
Hepatitis E virus serology and PCR: does the methodology matter?
emerging pathogen in the developed world. As the clinical manifestations and routine laboratory parameters are often nonspecific, accurate diagnostic tests are crucial. In the current study, the performance ...

Development and characterization of a human monoclonal antibody targeting the N-terminal region of hepatitis C virus envelope glycoprotein E1.
reactivity of mAb A6 to full-length HCV E1E2 of genotypes 1a, 1b and 2a. Epitope mapping identified a region spanning amino acids 230-239 within the N-terminal region of E1 as critical for binding. Antibody ...
Diagnostic hepatitis C testing of people in treatment for substance use disorders in Belgium between 2011 and 2014: a cross-sectional study.
recently injected were tested for HCV RNA. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the need of a continued effort of health care providers to identify people infected with HCV. For a population at risk such as ...
Estimates of people who injected drugs within the last 12 months in Belgium based on a capture-recapture and multiplier method
on data from more than fifteen years ago and apply only to those who report ever injecting drugs. As a result, no reliable baseline data exist to determine the scale of services for PWID. Methods We ...
