Avian hepatitis B viruses: Molecular and cellular biology, phylogenesis, and host tropism
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The human hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) share several fundamental features. Both viruses have a partially double-stranded DNA genome that is replicated via a RNA intermediate and the coding open reading frames (ORFs) overlap extensively. In addition, the genomic and structural organization, as well as replication and biological characteristics, are very similar in both viruses....
