Hepatitis B Virus Biology [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2000 SUMMARYHepadnaviruses (hepatitis B viruses) cause transient and chronic infections of the liver. Transient infections run a course of several months, and chronic infections are often lifelong. Chronic infections can lead to liver failure with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Screening and Testing for Hepatitis B Virus Infection: CDC Recommendations — United States, 2023
MMWR Recommendations and Reports, 2023 Summary Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. Although treatment is not considered curative, antiviral treatment, monitoring, and liver cancer surveillance can reduce morbidity and mortality. Effective

Modeling the Interplay between HDV and HBV in Chronic HDV/HBV Patients
Mathematics, 2022 Hepatitis D virus is an infectious subviral agent that can only propagate in people infected with hepatitis B virus. In this study, we modified and further developed a recent model for early hepatitis D virus and hepatitis B virus kinetics to better ...

Intervirology, 1999 During hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, selection and takeover of mutant viruses are frequent events driven by both humoral and cellular host-immune response and antiviral therapy. Therefore, dynamic studies of the variations of viral mutants over time within the overall viral population in relation with the host-virus interactions are extremely ...

Hepatitis B virus replication [PDF]
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007 Hepadnaviruses, including human hepatitis B virus (HBV), replicate through reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate, the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). Despite this kinship to retroviruses, there are fundamental differences beyond the fact that hepadnavirions contain DNA instead of RNA.
