Seroprevalence and genotypic characterization of HBV among low risk voluntary blood donors in Nairobi, Kenya.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There are over 100 known human adenovirus (HAdV) types, which are able to cause a broad variety of different self-limiting but also lethal diseases especially in immunocompromised patients. Only limited information about the pathogenesis and biology of the majority of these virus types is available. In the p...
