Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a subviral agent of hepatitis B virus (HBV), and its life cycle is dependent on HBV. It is commonly accepted that HDV has eight distinct genotypes. In this study, the complete nucleotide sequences of HDV genomes isolated from nine Turkish patients were obtained by RT-PCR using two pairs of primers that cover the entire HDV genome. PCR products were sequenced directly. The results showed that these 9 isolates were approximately 1680 base pairs in length and…

Identification of a natural intergenotypic recombinant hepatitis delta virus genotype 1 and 2 in Vietnamese HBsAg‐positive patients
TLDR
The prevalence of intergenotypic recombination between HDV genotypes 1 and 2 in a Vietnamese HBsAg‐positive patient is demonstrated and a newly identified recombinant of HDVgenotype 1 and HDV 2 is reported.
Comprehensive analysis of mutations in the hepatitis delta virus genome based on full-length sequencing in a nationwide cohort study and evolutionary pattern during disease progression.
Distribution of Hepatitis Delta Virus Genotypes in Mashhad, Northeast Iran
TLDR
This study showed that the most prevalent genotype of HDV in Mashhad was genotype I, and similar studies with larger sample sizes could provide valuable information regarding the molecular epidemiology and geographical distribution.
Clade homogeneity and low rate of delta virus despite hyperendemicity of hepatitis B virus in Ethiopia
TLDR
The low seroprevalence and viraemic rates of HDV in particular during HIV-confection might be highly affected by HBV drug resistance selected HBsAg mutant variants in this setting, although HDV-1 sequences analysis revealed clade homogeneity and highly conserved structural and functional domains.
IDENTIFICATION OF GENOTYPE III OF HEPATITIS DELTA VIRUS IN ANDEAN AND AMAZONIAN COMMUNITIES OF PERU
TLDR
The presence of HDV genotype 2 in Andean and Amazonian communities of Peru is evidenced and phylogenetic analysis determined the presence of genotype 3.
Molecular epidemiology of Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus, and Hepatitis D virus in general population of Afghanistan.
TLDR
HBV genotypes D1, subtype ayw2, HDV RNA type I, and HCV RNA genotype 1b are likely to be dominant in Afghan patients.
Prevalence and genotype distribution of hepatitis delta virus among chronic hepatitis B carriers in Central Vietnam
TLDR
It is indicated that HDV infection is highly prevalent and HDV-2 is predominant in Central Vietnam, and the management of HBsAg-positive patients in a highly HBV endemic region to in- or excludeHDV infection in terms of diagnostic and treatment options.
Recombinant identification, molecular classification and proposed reference genomes for hepatitis delta virus
TLDR
A large set of HDV full‐length genome sequences are retrieved and analysed and an updated classification system for HDV is established when recombinants were excluded, and the global distribution of different genotypes and subtypes is mapped.
Different evolutionary dynamics of hepatitis B virus genotypes A and D, and hepatitis D virus genotypes 1 and 2 in an endemic area of Yakutia, Russia
Background The geographic distribution of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the hepatitis D virus (HDV) genotypes is uneven. We reconstructed the temporal evolution of HBV and HDV in Yakutia, one of…
Characterization of hepatitis B and delta coinfection in Israel
TLDR
The overall significant prevalence of HDV (6.5%) mandates HDV RNA testing for all coinfected patients and the lack of effective anti-HDV therapy, necessitates strict clinical surveillance especially in patients with higher HDV viral loads and increased viral evolution.

The predominance of hepatitis delta virus genotype I among chronically infected Italian patients
TLDR
It is concluded that in Italy, where HDV infection has been endemic, the overwhelmingly predominant genotype of HDV is genotype I, and this genotype appeared to be associated with a broad spectrum of chronic disease.
Characterization of hepatitis D virus genotype III among Yucpa Indians in Venezuela.
TLDR
It was concluded that the serious delta hepatitis outbreaks characterized epidemiologically in the Yucpa Amerindians were caused by HDV genotype III isolates that were related to HDV Genotype III isolate from other regions of South America.
Molecular epidemiology of hepatitis B, C and D viruses in Turkish patients
TLDR
The study indicates that Turkish patients with chronic viral hepatitis show very little genotypic heterogeneity, and subtype ayw and the genotype D of HBV DNA, and the type I of HDV RNA represent almost 100% of related infections.
A genotype of hepatitis D virus that occurs in northern South America.
TLDR
The association of a particular genotype with the severe form oftype D hepatitis that occurs in northern South America supports the hypothesis that HDV genetic factors are important determinants in the pathogenesis of type D hepatitis.
Editing on the genomic RNA of human hepatitis delta virus
TLDR
A sensitive assay involving the polymerase chain reaction was developed to monitor changes on HDV RNA sequences as they occurred in transfected cells and found that the substrate for the sequence change was the viral genomic RNA rather than the antigenomic RNA.
Epidemiology, pathogenesis and management of hepatitis D: update and challenges ahead
TLDR
Studies conducted in the past 2 years on the use of PEG-IFN-α show that a sustained virologic response to therapy, measured in terms of undetectable serum HDV RNA levels, can be achieved in about one quarter of patients with hepatitis D.
The large form of hepatitis delta antigen is crucial for assembly of hepatitis delta virus.
TLDR
Though the small HDAg is important for viral replication and is incorporated into the virus, the small-form delta antigen by itself is insufficient for virion formation, indicating a crucial role of the large HDAg in HDV assembly.
Structural requirements for RNA editing in hepatitis delta virus: evidence for a uridine-to-cytidine editing mechanism.
TLDR
Comparisons of mutations that differentiate between base pairing in genomic and antigenomic RNAs indicate that the genomic strand of HDV is the actual editing substrate, which concludes that the virus uses a uridine to cytidine editing mechanism, which is provided by the host cell.
