Hepatitis CNobel prize 2020TreatmentMilestone eventOn October 5th,2020,Drs.Harvey J.Alter,Michael Houghton and Charles M.Rice were rewarded with Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for "the discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV)".During the past 50 years,remarkable achievements have been made in...
In the 1970s, an unknown virus was suspected for documented cases of transfusion-associated hepatitis, a phenomenon called non-A, non-B hepatitis. In 1989, the infectious transmissible agent was identified and named hepatitis C virus (HCV) and, soon enou
As an enteric RNA virus, HEV can cause both disease outbreaks and sporadic cases. This virus belongs to theHepeviridaefamily and is characterized as a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. Contamination of the water supply is the main cause of virus outbreaks, although there are evidence s...
discoveryeliminationHCVNobel PrizeThe Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, in the year 2020, has been awarded to three scientists, Harvey Alter, Michael Houghton, and Charles Rice, for jointly discovering the hepatitis C virus (HCV). This remarkable achievement is a huge breakthrough in the ...
The infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an example of the translational research success. The reciprocal interactions between clinicians and scientists have allowed in 30 years the initiation of empirical treatments by interferon, the discovery of the virus, the development of serological ...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV), identified approximately 25 years ago, is recognised as the cause of several clinical conditions besides chronic hepatitis. New compounds with direct antiviral activity have recently been introduced. These drugs promise to outdo old therapies based on interferon and ribavirin ...
New Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Drugs and the Hope for a Cure: Concepts in Anti-HCV Drug Development The development of new models and tools has led to the discovery and clinical development of a large number of new anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drugs, incl......

Hepatitis C virus Hepatitis C virus(HCV), discovered in 1989, was the long sought-after and highly elusive causative agent of post-transfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis. This hugely important discovery allowed rapid development of serological screening assays forHCVinfection and their adoption for bloo...
