Three hundred thirty-seven community-based spouses were tested for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers to assess the direction of HBV transmission between couples. The prevalence rate of HBV infection among husbands whose wives were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive was higher
We have cloned and sequenced an infectious, functionally active genome of a duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV). It is 3,021 base pairs (bp) in length and shows little DNA sequence homology to the genome of human hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, the amino acid sequences of predicted viral gene products
## Abstract At present in Japan, only highβrisk infants born to chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)βinfected mothers are given HBV vaccine. However, children can contract the virus from other HBVβinfected family members, including fathers. The aim of this study is to present substantial and unequivocal
