| Core Tip |
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains as an important public health problem worldwide. Viral molecular evolution determines, in many ways, the outcome of HCV infection. Here, we present up-to-date information about the role of HCV molecular evolution in virus ransmission, disease progression and antiviral therapy. |
