Abstract

Is there a zoonotic origin for HCV? If so, when did HCV "jumped" into humans? To date, the origin of HCV remains largely unknown. The viral peculiarities and the observed global epidemiological patterns of HCV suggest that the virus has been infecting human species for at least several centuries if not millennia.
