Abstract:
Hepatitis D (HD) is a serious disease. Traditionally, it is believed that the infection with hepatitis D virus (HDV) is closely related to hepatitis B virus (HBV). Recently, scholars have found the evidence that transmission of HDV does not rely on HBV, and have opened up δ virus a new chapter in virus research. This article reviews the origin of HDV, life cycle of HDV, HDV related to HBV infection, HDV unrelated to HBV infection, HDV-like virus, and the problems and prospect.
