Figure 1 Geographic distribution of the worldwide epidemiology of the hepatitis B virus genotype G isolates. Fifty-nine genome sequences out of a total of 80 have been reported from the Americas (73.75%), whereas 23.75% are from Europe and 2.5% from Asia. The high prevalence of hepatitis B virus genotype G in America may be related to a common source of infection and transmission route.
