Cladogram of HBV sub-genotypes of genotypes C. Phylogenetic tree was constructed using 578 bp nucleotide sequences (2860–222) PreS1/ PreS2 region in MEGA X using the neighbor-joining method with bootstrap test of 1000 replicates and maximum composite likelihood model. GenBank reference sequences are shown as HBV sub-genotype and accession number. Study sequences were designed by study number
