Identification of hepatitis B virus indigenous to chimpanzees.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B viruses (HBV) and related viruses, classified in the Hepadnaviridae family, are found in a wide variety of mammals and birds. Although the chimpanzee has been the primary experimental model of HBV infection, this species has not been considered a natural host for the virus. Retrospective analysis of 13 predominantly wild-caught chimpanzees with chronic HBV infection identified a unique chimpanzee HBV...
