It can lead to an increased risk of serious liver diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma and is a serious threat to public health. Currently, the HBV are designated based on greater than 8% nucleotide variation along the whole genome. The recombination of HBV is very common, a large majority of which are recombinants between 2 genotypes. The current work aims to characterize a suspected recombinant involving 3 genotypes.}, number={1}, publisher={Springer Nature}, author={Jia, Lei and Hu, Fengyu and Li, Hanping and Li, Lin and Tang, Xiaoping and Liu, Yongjian and Deng, Haohui and Han, Jingwan and Li, Jingyun and Cai, Weiping}, year={2018}, month={Dec} }
