What is the origin of the hepatitis virus?

hepatitis is the malfunctioning of liver. the bile will be mixed with blood as a result the eyes will change its hue. if neglected the entire body will be in yellow colour that is dangerous. in order to control the patient has to take the diet with out oil and salt for quite some time. in olden days the restricted diet will be for six months. coconut water is to be given four or five times a day until the liver comes to normal stazwe diet and rest is required along with auervedic medicine. the liver has to come to normal staze. blood test is also required for every 15 days. in the second week the percentage goes up and there is no need to be panic from third week onwards the percentage will be reduced.

For many RNA viruses, relatively recent times of origin of extant viruses are implied by the high rate of substitution observed in longitudinal studies. However, extrapolation of short-term rates of substitution can give misleading estimates of times of divergence.

We show here that the common ancestor of different types of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is older than previously thought. The rate of HCV sequence change was measured amongst a cohort of individuals infected following administration of anti-D immunoglobulin. Virus sequences were obtained in the E1 and NS5B genes and compared with each other and with sequences from an infective batch. Taking account of the bias towards synonymous transition substitutions, the time of divergence of variants of subtype 1b is estimated to have occurred 70-80 years ago. The numerous subtypes of HCV are proposed to derive from more than 300 years of endemic infection in certain geographical regions, with recent spread of some subtypes to other parts of the world. Estimation of the time of origin of the major HCV genotypes (types 1-6) is problematic, but our data and analogy with other viruses suggest that divergence occurred at least 500-2000 years ago.

Blood serum ,it cause diseases like jandice and hepatic carcinoma.
