I am interested in the life cycle of Hepatitis Virus B and C.
Dear Dr. Chung,
I am interested in the life cycle of Hepatitis Virus B and C. Specifically how long it can live outside of the human body. Can you please help me?
Thank you,
Dr Chung Writes-
We do not know the answer to this, but because the viruses have lipid envelopes they may be able to persist outside the body.
