Currently, HDV is classified as a subviral satellite of hepatitis B virus. However, unlike other satellite viruses, the dependence of HDV on HBV is limited solely to the provision of an envelope of hepatitis B surface antigen for virus assembly. Research into the molecular virology of the HDV life cycle has revealed a fascinating collection of biology. These insights are now beginning to be translated into new potential treatment strategies. There are currently still an estimated 15 million HDV carriers worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47613203513495,"sku":"9783540298014","price":16484.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783540298014.webp?v=1775083401","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hepatitis-delta-virus-9783540298014","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
