Partial sequence analysis of indigenous hepatitis E virus isolated in the United Kingdom.
TL;DR: The first nucleotide sequences of hepatitis E virus (HEV) acquired in the United Kingdom are described and are related most closely to HEV isolated from Greece (Greece 2 strain), consistent with their having been derived from an indigenous European virus.

Antiviral resistance mutations potentiate hepatitis B virus immune evasion through disruption of its surface antigen a determinant.
TL;DR: Mutations associated with resistance to nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy, singly or in combination with each other or antibody escape-associated mutations, alter HBsAg immunoreactivity through concomitant amino acid substitutions at codons within and downstream of the a determinant.

TL;DR: This first evaluation showed that DNA chip technology can provide important information in relation to the clinical management of chronic hepatitis B by identifying an amino acid by the chip and determining the genotype of the virus in serum.

A national survey of genitourinary medicine clinic attenders provides little evidence of sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus infection
M. A. Balogun,Mary Ramsay,John Parry,L. Donovan,Nick Andrews,J. A. Newham,Christine McGarrigle,Kathryn A. Harris,C. G. Teo +8 more
TL;DR: The low prevalence of anti-HCV in genitourinary medicine clinic attenders who deny injecting drugs suggests that the majority of hepatitis C infections have been acquired in adult life, mostly by injecting drug use, and that the hepatitis C virus is rarely transmitted sexually.

Genotyping of acute HBV isolates from England, 1997-2001.
TL;DR: Immigration and travel likely shape the observed genotype distribution and consequent prevalence of genotypes other than A2 or D in this population, and data suggests no genetic separation of parenteral and sexually transmitted virus.
