16 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Human hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) infection is associated to the most severe viral hepatic disease, including severe acute liver decompensation and progression to cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. HDV is a satellite of hepatitis B virus (HBV) that requires the HBV envelope proteins for assembly of HDV virions. HDV and HBV exhibit a large genetic diversity that extends, respectively to eight (HDV-1 to -8)...
