Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been classified into eight genotypes and forty subgenotypes. Genotype D of HBV is the most worldwide distributed genotype and HBV subgenotype D1 has been isolated from Iranian patients. To characterize for the first time complete genomes of recently emerged non-D1 strains in Iran. HBV complete genomes isolated from 9 Iranian […]
