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.

The Hepatitis Delta Virus (HVD) occupies a unique niche in humai virology. At variance with conventional animal viruses, it cannot replicate autonomously but requires the presence of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) to initiate infection. It behaves like a defective interfering agent, in that it ihibits the synthesis of the competent HBV helper once its ...

Replication of hepatitis delta virus
Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 1996SUMMARY. Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a unique viroid‐like human pathogen that is always associated with hepatitis B infection. Replication of HDV involves the transcription of genomic RNA, probably by the host RNA polymerase II, by a rolling circle mechanism followed by self‐cleavage and self‐ligation. Editing of antigenomic RNA, possibly involving

Hepatitis delta: the virus and the disease
Journal of Hepatology, 1990In general, the biological and structural properties of the hepatitis delta virus resemble those of the viroids and related satellite RNA viruses of plants. This resemblance has been strengthened by the discovery that, in analogy to the self-cleaving of some plant RNA viruses, hepatitis delta virus RNA possesses autocleaving and autoligating sites ...

Delta Hepatitis and the Hepatitis Delta Virus
1989Since its discovery in 1977 by Rizzetto and co-workers from Turin, Italy, the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) has become a focus of worldwide interest—interest almost equal to its worldwide importance.1, 2 The delta antigen, which first appeared to be a poorly explained finding of immunofluorescence staining in liver biopsies from Italian chronic hepatitis

1991
In the past few years significant progress has been made in understanding the structure and replication of hepatitis delta (HDV). Some of this work has been recently reviewed (Bonino et al. 1990; Hoofnagle 1989; Taylor 1990a, b). The present chapter will emphasize those areas in which our perspective has recently changed and those questions about HDV ...

The Structure and Replication of Hepatitis Delta Virus
Annual Review of Microbiology, 1992Hepatitis delta virus exists in nature as a satellite of hepatitis B virus. This review emphasizes studies during the past few years that have clarified much about this satellite relationship. Many unique and intriguing features have been assigned to delta and its replication.

[The return of the hepatitis delta virus].
Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2016- There are several regions worldwide with a high prevalence of infection with the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) in hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers.- Chronic HDV infection is occurring with increasing frequency due to increased immigration.- HDV transmission can take place through the same routes as HBV by simultaneous infection with both viruses (co ...

The Molecular Biology of Hepatitis Delta Virus
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1995Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) contains a circular, viroid-like RNA genome, the only animal viral RNA of its kind. It possesses a ribozyme activity, which can autocatalytically cleave and ligate itself. The ribozyme has a unique structural requirement different from other known ribozymes.

Delta in Denmark: prevalence of hepatitis delta virus infection
Infectious DiseasesHepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection has an aggressive disease course and is the most difficult to treat of the human hepatitis viruses. In Denmark, as in many countries, the national prevalence of HDV has not been established. Based on diagnoses and laboratory test results in national healthcare registries, we estimated that the prevalence of current
