A prevalence of 10.3% of GB virus C (GBV-C)/hepatitis G virus (HGV) carriers was found in 97 pregnant women from Kinshasa, Congo (formerly Zaire), while prevalences of 1%, 4.1%, and 0% were found for hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and human T-lymphotropic virus respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the ten GBV-C/HGV positives based on the 5' non-coding region using three different methods identified consistently three GBV-C/HGV genotypes. Four main clades were found within the type 1 sequences. All the Congolese isolates are GBV-C/HGV type 1 in two different clades. The clustering of seven Congolese isolates was inconsistent in different methods. Further likelihood-mapping analysis showed a well-resolved phylogeny, confirming the clustering of the seven Congolese isolates with a Belgian strain representing a new clade in the GBV-C/HGV type 1 sequences.
