Abstract:
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is responsible for the most severe form of liver disease in humans. So far, eight genotypes (HDV-1 to -8) have been individualized worldwide. Little is known about HDV strains that spread in Nigeria. HDV genotyping was performed in 15 anti-HDV positive samples from a cohort of 306 hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients in Abuja (Nigeria). Phylogenetic analyses revealed 90% were HDV-1, two among them clustering with European/Asian HDV-1, the remaining one being HDV-6. It was also found that two members of a couple superinfected with the same HDV strain, were enveloped by two different HBV strains of genotype E.

The Y-to-Delta Circuit
The initial step in analyzing a wye-to-delta circuit is to assume a positive phase sequence. These phase voltages are then utilized to calculate the line voltages that occur directly across the delta-connected load impedances. Van, Vbn, and Vcn are the phase voltages in wye, and Vab, Vbc, and Vca are the line voltages for a delta circuit. The relation between...
