Co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) results in hepatitis D,
the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis, frequently leading to liver decompensation …

Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) is the smallest mammalian single-stranded RNA virus. It
requires host cells and hepatitis B virus (HBV) to complete its unique life cycle. The present …

Background & Aims Studying hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and developing new treatments is
hampered by the limited availability of small animal models. Herein, a description of a robust …

Hepatitis Delta virus is the smallest known human virus, exploiting the HBV surface proteins
(HBsAg) for the release of its progeny and de novo entry into hepatocytes. Ever growing …

The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is the smallest known human virus, yet it causes great harm
to patients co-infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). As a satellite virus of HBV, HDV requires …

Virus-specific CD8 T cell response seems to play a significant role in the outcome of
hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection. However, the HDV-specific T cell epitope repertoire and …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) coinfection confers a greater risk for
accelerated liver disease progression. Full‐length characterization of HDV genome is …

Human hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a small defective RNA satellite virus that requires
hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope proteins to form its own virions. The HDV genome …

The hepatitis viruses represent a major public health problem worldwide. Procedures for
characterization of the genomic composition of their populations, accurate diagnosis …

The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) genome has an autocatalytic region called the ribozyme,
which is essential for viral replication. The aim of this study was to use next-generation …
