Characterization of the Occult Hepatitis B Virus Variants Circulating among the Blood Donors from Eastern India

<table>Phylogenetic analysis of partial S gene region sequence (300 base pairs) of HBV isolates from Eastern Indian voluntary blood donors with OBI (denoted with “CB”). Different genotypes and subgenotypes are assigned with respect to reference sequences retrieved from the GenBank. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by neighbor joining (NJ) method. The bootstrap values obtained from 1,000 replicates are given at the internal nodes.</table>
