Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we present 5 full-length HBV recombinant genomes from blood donors in Beira, Mozambique. The genomes are recombinants between genotypes E and A and are distantly related to one another, based on their genetic distances.
