Abstract:BACKGROUND
The human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infections in Brazil are predominantly caused by two subtypes, B and C.
OBJECTIVES
Here we present the characterisation of a novel HIV-1 recombinant form, indicating a new Brazilian CRF_BC, named CRF146_BC.
METHODS
RDP, JphMM and Simplot recombination tools were used to evaluate the mosaic pattern.
FINDINGS
In this work, we identified three HIV-1 nucleotide sequ… Show more
