Abstract
Recently, Huy et al. described a new hepatitis B virus (HBV) strain isolated in Vietnam ([3][1]) and claimed it to be a “new genotype,” “HBV genotype I,” with a complex recombination involving genotypes C, A, and G. We refute both claims. Using complete genome sequence analysis of theirThis publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
