Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to understand the genetic diversity of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) among blood donors in Kenya, focusing on how emerging viral traits affect treatment outcomes and cancer risk.
- Researchers collected 194 serum samples from HBsAg-positive donors in various counties and found that HBV genotype A1 was predominant, comprising 88.14% of the samples, with notable genetic diversity.
- The analysis revealed 90 different haplotypes with specific mutations indicating immune escape, alongside a high haplotype diversity but low nucleotide diversity, suggesting complex viral evolution in the region.
