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...
