Modeling HCV disease in animals: virology, immunology and pathogenesis of HCV and GBV-B infections.

abstract：:Microbial community ecology studies have traditionally utilized culture-based methodologies, though the advent of next-generation amplicon sequencing has facilitated superior resolution analyses of complex microbial communities. Here, we used culture-dependent and -independent approaches to explore the influence of la...
