“…Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of severe liver diseases, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. According to the World Health Organization ( WHO, 2017 ), approximately 71 million people worldwide are infected with HCV, and at least 400,000 people die annually from HCV-related liver disease ( WHO, 2017 ; Spearman et al., 2019 ; Roger et al., 2021 ). HCV transmission primarily occurs through accidental needle sticks in medical settings, using injectable drugs, and receiving a blood transfusion before 1992, which was when blood screening became routine ( Pietschmann and Brown, 2019 ; Hollande et al., 2020 ).…”

“…Acute HCV cases account for about 15–20% of total cases, and post-acute HCV-infected patients have a 50–80% chance of developing a chronic infection ( Narayanamurthy et al., 2021 ). If untreated, patients have a 20% risk of developing cirrhosis, of whom a small percentage may also develop hepatocellular carcinoma ( Roger et al., 2021 ).…”

“…HCV displays high genetic diversity as a result of defects in the repair activity of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and the absence of 5′-to-3′ exonuclease activity ( 3 ). Based on phylogenetic analysis of the genome sequence, HCV is now classified into eight genotypes (GTs) and 91 subtypes ( 4 , 5 ).…”

“…As one of the major causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality, including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), chronic HCV infection is becoming an important public health burden, with around 71 million infections worldwide and at least 400,000 deaths per year (3)(4)(5). Currently, there is still no effective vaccine for the prevention of HCV infection (6).…”
