Snake Deltavirus Utilizes Envelope Proteins of Different Viruses To Generate Infectious Particles
16 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Deltaviruses need a coinfecting enveloped virus to produce infectious particles necessary for transmission to a new host. Hepatitis D virus (HDV), the only known deltavirus until 2018, has been found only in humans, and its coinfection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is linked with fulminant hepatitis.
