Autophagy by hepatitis B virus and for hepatitis B virus [PDF]

Autophagy, 2010
Autophagy is a catabolic process by which cells remove unwanted proteins and damaged organelles. It is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis and can also be used by cells to remove intracellular microbial pathogens. As such, some viruses such as herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) have evolved mechanisms to suppress autophagy for their survival. In

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 ...

Molecular characterization and genotyping of hepatitis C virus from Sudanese end-stage renal disease patients on haemodialysis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global public health problem, with ~ 11 million people in Africa infected. There is incomplete information on HCV in Sudan, particularly in haemodialysis patients, who have a higher prevalence compared to the ...

Variants of hepatitis B virus [PDF]

Vox Sanguinis, 1992
Variations in the course of disease caused by hepatitis B virus may often be attributed to genomic variants of the virus. It must be kept in mind, however, that other factors, i.e. immunocompetence of the host and new methods of detection such as PCR, may also result in apparently aberrant phenotypic expression.

Hepatitis B Virus: Advances in Prevention, Diagnosis, and Therapy

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2020
Currently, despite the use of a preventive vaccine for several decades as well as the use of effective and well-tolerated viral suppressive medications since 1998, approximately 250 million people remain infected with the virus that causes hepatitis B ...

Mathematical Analysis of Autonomous and Nonautonomous Hepatitis B Virus Transmission Models [PDF]

, 2023
This study presents an improved mathematical model for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) transmission dynamics by investigating autonomous and nonautonomous cases. The novel model incorporates the effects of medical treatment, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of HBV transmission and potential control measures.
