Abstract excerpt
The virus family Hepadnaviridae comprises two genera: orthohepadnaviruses isolated from humans (hepatitis B virus [HBV]) and rodents (e.g., woodchuck hepatitis virus [WHV]) and avihepadnaviruses isolated from birds (e.g., duck hepatitis B virus [DHBV]). They carry in their envelopes two (DHBV) or three (HBV and WHV) coterminal proteins referred to as small (S), middle (M), or large (L) surface protein. These...
