Infection by Hepatitis Delta Virus [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) are blood-borne viruses that infect human hepatocytes and cause significant liver disease. Infections with HBV are more damaging when there is a coinfection with HDV.

Hepatitis Delta Virus and Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]
PathogensThe hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a compact, enveloped, circular RNA virus that relies on hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope proteins to initiate a primary infection in hepatocytes, assemble, and secrete new virions.

Hepatitis Delta Virus: A Peculiar Virus [PDF]
Advances in Virology, 2013 The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is distributed worldwide and related to the most severe form of viral hepatitis. HDV is a satellite RNA virus dependent on hepatitis B surface antigens to assemble its envelope and thus form new virions and propagate ...

Hepatitis Delta Virus Infection: An Overview [PDF]
PathogensThe burden of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection is currently unknown and may affect 12 to 72 million people distributed across various hot spots in different regions of the globe. Screening for antibodies to HDV infection in patients positive for the

Viroids and Hepatitis Delta Virus
Seminars in Liver Disease, 2012 There is a subviral world, whose most prominent representatives are viroids. Despite being solely composed by a circular, highly structured RNA of ~250 to 400 nucleotides without protein-coding ability (all viruses code for one or more proteins), viroids can infect and incite specific diseases in higher plants.

Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) and Delta-Like Agents: Insights Into Their Origin
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a human pathogen, and the only known species in the genus Deltavirus. HDV is a satellite virus and depends on the hepatitis B virus (HBV) for packaging, release, and transmission.

Hepatitis Delta Virus RNA Replication
Viruses, 2009 Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a distant relative of plant viroids in the animal world. Similar to plant viroids, HDV replicates its circular RNA genome using a double rolling-circle mechanism.

Hepatitis Delta Virus–Host Protein Interactions: From Entry to Egress [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is the smallest known human virus and causes the most severe form of human viral hepatitis, yet it is still not fully understood how the virus replicates and how it interacts with many host proteins during replication.

Constraint of Base Pairing on HDV Genome Evolution
Viruses, 2021 The hepatitis delta virus is a single-stranded circular RNA virus, which is characterized by high self-complementarity. About 70% of the genome sequences can form base-pairs with internal nucleotides.

Hepatitis Delta Virus Diagnosis [PDF]
Seminars in Liver Disease, 2012 The first step in the diagnosis of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection is testing HBsAg-positive individuals for the antibody to the HD antigen (anti-HD).In anti-HD-positive patients, the next step is testing for HDV RNA in serum to determine whether the antibody reflects an ongoing active HDV infection (HDV-RNA-positive) or represents a serologic ...
