Abstract

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a small, defective ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus that requires hepatitis B virus (HBV) for entry into hepatocytes, but its genome replication is independent of HBV. Over 15 million people are infected by HDV worldwide, always occurring in the presence of HBV.[1][1] HBV/
