Approximation of the contribution of HBV genotypes to global burden of chronic HBV infection. (A) Estimation of the number of chronic infections with each genotype per world region. *: Oceania includes pooled data of Australia/New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. (B) Approximation of the genotype distribution within global chronic HBV infections. Values <2% are given with two decimals to prevent distortion of genotype distribution. Recombinant/co-infection: infection with an inter-genotype recombinant or with more than one HBV genotype; Undefined: genotype allocation not possible.
