      Molecular epidemiology of hepatitis C infection in cyprus: Evidence of polyphyletic infection 

      Demetriou, Victoria L.; Van De Vijver, D. A. M. C.; Kostrikis, Leontios G.; Chimonides, S.; Evgeniou, N. A.; Hadjigeorgiou-Vounou, E.; Koliou-Mazeri, M.; Papakyriakou, P.; Petsas, L.; Potamitis, G. (2009)
      The genetic diversity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Cyprus is investigated for the first time in this study. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the CORE-E1 and NS5B regions of the HCV genome was performed on blood plasma ...

      Re-analysis of unassigned hepatitis C virus (HCV) strain CYHCV025: Evidence of a highly divergent lineage within genotype 1 

      Oikonomopoulou, M.; Demetriou, Victoria L.; Kostrikis, Leontios G.; Paraskevis, Dimitrios N. (2017)
      HCV global sequences have been classified into 7 genotypes, several subtypes and a number of unassigned sequences. Our aim was to perform an in depth investigation of the taxonomic relationships of the unclassified CYHCV025 ...
