The HBV life cycle is unique in that the genomic DNA (relaxed-circular partially double-…

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a small, enveloped, hepatotropic DNA virus (hepadnavirus)
that causes acute and chronic liver disease and leads to the development of hepatocellular …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is still one of the major reasons of the liver disease and it increases
the risk of the development of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma as late…

The clinical, epidemiological, pathological, and immunological attributes of viral hepatitides

Hepatitis B virus is a member of the Hepadnaviridae family and responsible for causing acute
and chronic hepatitis in humans. The current estimates of people chronically infected with …

The five human hepatitis viruses, A to E, belong to five different virus families with distinct
genomic structures and replication strategies. Hepatitis A virus is an enteric picornavirus that is …

Hepadnaviruses, including human hepatitis B virus (HBV), replicate through reverse
transcription of an RNA intermediate, the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). Despite this kinship to …
