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 ...

Somewhat unusual for virusoids, hepatitis D produces two proteins. These are encoded by a stretch of RNA called an open reading frame (ORF); in brief, this is a section of the genome that can be ...

Hepatitis D is a liver infection you can get if you have hepatitis B. It can cause serious symptoms that can lead to lifelong liver damage and even death. It’s sometimes called hepatitis delta ...

The genome of hepatitis D doesn’t resemble any known virus, making its origin a mystery. But by mining virus sequences from genetic datasets, a new study may have found the answer.

Hepatitis C The CDC says that hepatitis C is unique from hepatitis A and B in that over half the infections are long-term (chronic), and there's also no vaccine for it.

Hepatitis D is often called the toughest type of viral hepatitis for good reason. The complications of hepatitis D, including severe liver diseases and liver failure, underscore the need for early ...

Hepatitis D virus (HDV), also known as hepatitis delta virus, is a defective, hepatotropic pathogenic agent. The life cycle of HDV requires the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) provided by ...
