Abstract :

Antibodies to the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) were found in 17.6% of the 233 Hepatitis B virus surface antigen positive subjects in Cameroon. Phylogenetic analyses showed the presence of HDV-1, HDV-5, HDV-6 and HDV-7 genotypes. These results enrich the limited data on HDV prevalence and molecular diversity in Cameroon.
