“…The genotypes showed a distinct and well-defined geographic distribution. In our study, genotype A was the most prevalent, but other subtypes were also typed, such as F and D. This distribution was similar to that found in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, for example 13,15 . The higher prevalence of HBV genotype A might reflect the ethnic background of the Brazilian population, with its strong miscigenation 15 .…”
