Flaviviridae :T he Viruses and Their Replication (2007, background): “Based on its evolutionary history as inferred from phylogenetic analysis, HCV is currently classified into six major genotypes, which differ from each other by more than 30% at the nucleotide level, as well as numerous subtypes (655).”

Expanded Classification of Hepatitis C Virus Into 7 Genotypes and 67 Subtypes: Updated Criteria and Genotype Assignment Web Resource (2013, methodology): “After much research and surveying by groups worldwide, this variation was summarized and variants assigned as genotypes and subtypes in a consensus classification and nomenclature system and formal rules were agreed for the assignment and naming of future variants.(2) Genotype and subtype assignment”
Replication of hepatitis C virus (2007, background): “HCV isolates can be classified into genotypes and subtype”
