All neonates born to HBsAg positive mothers were given hepatitis B vaccine in order to counter perinatal infection. In 1986 all neonates were included in the program. As a consequence, there was a decrease in HBsAg positivity in six-year-olds from 10.6% in 1983–1984 to 0.8% in 1993–1994...
We next used the integer programming algorithm to obtain the set of possible solutions (See Methods for more information). Table 1 depicts some of those solutions (those with lengths up to 50 amino acids); the rest of the vaccine candidates with lengths between 50 and 100 amino acids can be...
A large proportion of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections occur within countries in sub-Saharan Africa. With recent increased migration from these countries to Catalonia Spain, the prevalence of HBV is greater in migrants than in host populations.
