A Mathematical Model for Early HBV and -HDV Kinetics during Anti-HDV Treatment [PDF]
Mathematics, 2021 Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is an infectious subviral agent that can only propagate in people infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). HDV/HBV infection is considered to be the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis.

Viruses, 2021 Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a defective human virus that lacks the ability to produce its own envelope proteins and is thus dependent on the presence of a helper virus, which provides its surface proteins to produce infectious particles. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) was so far thought to be the only helper virus described to be associated with HDV ...

HDV Pathogenesis: Unravelling Ariadne’s Thread [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) lies in between satellite viruses and viroids, as its unique molecular characteristics and life cycle cannot categorize it according to the standard taxonomy norms for viruses. Being a satellite virus of hepatitis B virus (HBV), HDV requires HBV envelope glycoproteins for its infection cycle and its transmission.

A changing landscape: Tracking and analysis of the international HDV epidemiology 1999-2020.
PLOS Global Public Health, 2023 The international epidemiology of Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) is challenging to accurately estimate due to limited active surveillance for this rare infectious disease.

Human hepatitis D virus-specific T cell epitopesKey points
JHEP Reports, 2021 Summary: HDV is a small, defective RNA virus that requires the HBsAg of HBV for its assembly, release, and transmission. Chronic HBV/HDV infection often has a severe clinical outcome and is difficult to treat.

HDV can constrain HBV genetic evolution in hbsag: Implications for the identification of innovative pharmacological targets [PDF]
, 2018 Chronic HBV + HDV infection is associated with greater risk of liver fibrosis, earlier hepatic decompensation, and liver cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma compared to HBV mono-infection.

Circulation of HDV Genotypes in Brazil: Identification of a Putative Novel HDV-8 Subgenotype
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is classified into 8 genotypes (1 to 8) and several subgenotypes. In Brazil, HDV-3 and HDV-1 predominate; however, most of the diagnosis efforts and molecular studies are directed to the area of endemicity of the Amazon Basin ...

Pharmacotherapy of hepatitis D: the current and the future [PDF]
Exploration of Digestive DiseasesHepatitis D virus (HDV), a satellite virus requiring hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) for propagation, is a hepatotropic virus implicated in acute and chronic viral hepatitis, with an accentuated risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
