This infographic about hepatitis B virus explores its replication cycle, natural history of infection and pathogenesis, and how this can be controlled and treated. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a common worldwide blood-borne pathogen. Chronic hepatitis B can progress to an inactive carrier state, and then, in some patients, give rise to cirrhosis and ...

The hepatitis B virus (HBV), discovered in 1966, infects more than 350 million people worldwide.1 Hepatitis B is a leading cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, accounting for 1 million deaths annually. Knowledge of the intricacies of viral infection and of the molecular biology of this fascinating virus has led to the ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a hepatotropic virus that can establish a persistent and chronic infection in humans through immune anergy. Currently, 3.5% of the global population is chronically infected with HBV, although the incidence of HBV infections is decreasing owing to vaccination and, to a lesser extent, the use of antiviral therapy to reduce the ...

DNA recombinant technology has radically changed hepatitis B virus (HBV) virology. The genetic organization, transcription and replication of the virus are basically understood, structures of integrated HBV sequences in hepatocellular carcinoma have been characterized, and new vaccines produced by recombinant DNA technique are being developed.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the causative agent of B-type hepatitis in humans and the prototypic member of the hepadnaviruses. It is a small enveloped DNA virus that replicates via reverse transcription. Although hepadnaviruses are similar to retroviruses in basic life cycle and genome organization, recent studies have revealed several unique ...

Vaccine, 2005
Eight genotypes of hepatitis B virus (A-H) are currently recognized, and subgenotypes have recently been described in four of these genotypes (A, B, C and F). The genotypes show a distinct geographical distribution between and even within regions, and are proving to be an invaluable tool in tracing the molecular evolution and patterns and modes of ...

HBV replicates through reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate; the inherent lack of proofreading causes a high mutation frequency. Mutations in the precore and core promoter regions that abolish or reduce the production of hepatitis B e antigen occur most commonly.

Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis delta virus
1992Hepatitis B virus (HBV) may cause acute and chronic infection of the liver. Acute hepatitis B infection may cause serious icteric hepatitis or even fulminant hepatitis, though the infection may be anicteric and asymptomatic in a high proportion of cases.
