Diverse Indian population provides an excellent opportunity to study the prevalence and feature of hepatitis virus for understanding viral evaluation and viral pathogenesis. India is in intermediate zone of pathogenesis of hepatitis B (2-5%), and India is having around 40 million hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers. A wide variation in prevalence of hepatitis B is observed from region to region and community to community. The prevalence of HBV is higher among tribal population, than nontribal. Population prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in India is 1%. Prevalence study among blood donors may reflect population prevalence. Hemodialysis increases the possibility of blood borne viral infection. Higher prevalence of HBV among tribal population is of paramount importance from public health point of view and hepatitis B vaccination.

印度人口多样性为研究肝炎病毒的流行情况和特征提供了绝佳机会，有助于理解病毒评估和病毒发病机制。印度处于乙型肝炎发病的中间区域（2%-5%），约有4000万乙肝病毒（HBV）携带者。不同地区和社区的乙肝流行率差异很大。部落人群中的HBV流行率高于非部落人群。印度丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染的人群流行率为1%。献血者中的流行率研究可能反映人群流行率。血液透析增加了血源性病毒感染的可能性。从公共卫生和乙肝疫苗接种的角度来看，部落人群中较高的HBV流行率至关重要。
