The hepatitis D protein —known as hepatitis D virus antigen (HDAg)— modifies the relevant cellular machinery to its own advantage. In particular, it interacts with host DNA-dependent RNA ...

In animals, we only know of one viroid-like satellite RNA to date: hepatitis delta virus (HDV), which depends on hepatitis B virus for transmission and replication. TABLE 1.

Chronic hepatitis delta (CHD) is a long-lasting, inflammatory liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV), which requires the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its replication 1.

In 2020, bulevirtide (BLV) was conditionally approved for treating chronic hepatitis delta (CHD), an inflammation of the liver caused by hepatitis D virus (HDV). Now real-world studies of patients ...

The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is transmitted primarily through contact with infected blood, similar to hepatitis B virus (HBV). People who inject drugs face a high risk, partly because of needle ...

Despite being the smallest virus capable of causing human disease, it is estimated that up to 80% of patients with hepatitis delta virus will progress to liver cirrhosis and more than 50% will die ...
