Abstract
The findings from this study link the spread of HBVBV from injecting drug users to the general population through heterosexual intercourse during the outbreak. The molecular sequencing of specimens from this outbreak reports the emergence of HBVBV, a HBV strain circulating in Bristol and South West England, as the cause of one of the largest outbreaks of acute hepatitis B in the UK.
