Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a member of the hepadnavirus family. Hepadnaviruses can be
found in both mammals (orthohepadnaviruses) and birds (avihepadnaviruses). The genetic …

Eight genotypes of hepatitis B virus (A–H) are currently recognized, and subgenotypes have
recently been described in four of these genotypes (A, B, C and F). The genotypes show a …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is divided into nine genotypes, A to I. Currently, it remains unclear
how the individual genotypes contribute to the estimated 250 million chronic HBV infections …

The complete genomes were sequenced for ten hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains. Two of them,
from Spain and Sweden, were most similar to genotype D, although encoding d specificity …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most widely distributed viruses that infect humankind.
Distinct clinical and virological characteristics of the HBV‐infection have been reported in …

The genetic variability of hepatitis B virus (HBV) represents a challenge for the sensitivity of
immunologic and molecular based assays. Based on sequence divergence in the entire …

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) genotypes have come of age. The concept that HBV genotypes may
influence the course of disease and relevant biological differences has now been …

The origin of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in humans and other primates remains largely
unresolved. Understanding the origin of HBV is crucial because it provides a framework for …

The significance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes for the heterogeneity of chronic HBV
infection and severity of liver disease is not well understood. The aim of this study was to …

Phylogenetic analysis has led to the classification of hepatitis B virus into eight genotypes,
designated A to H. The genotypes have differences in biological properties and show …
