Virology of hepatitis C virus.
Advances in molecular biology techniques have allowed the cloning of HCV and the characterization of this virus. This article provides a short summary of our current knowledge on the genomic organization of HCV, the implications of its genetic heterogeneous nature, and the probable replication strategy of this virus.
