Progress in Clinical and Biological Research, Volume 382 Hepatitis Delta Virus Molecular Biology, Pathogenesis, and Clinical Aspects Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Hepatitis Delta Virus, Held at Rhodes, Greece, June 8-10, 1992 Stephanos J. Hadziyannis, John M. Taylor, and Ferruccio Bonino, Editors In the past decade, the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) has become the focus of increased research attention for epidemiologists, pathologists, and--most recently--molecular biologists. Hepatitis Delta Virus: Molecular Biology, Pathogenesis, and Clinical Aspects provides a summary of recent investigations into some of the unique molecular properties of HDV, discussing how they can impact its infectiousness, carcinogenic potential, interaction with other hepatitis viruses, and resistance to different therapeutic measures. The text also explores the possibility of developing agents that mimic some of HDV's molecular properties, transforming such effects into useful antiviral activity. Individual chapters in the text are organized into sections covering the following subject areas:

Molecular Biology of the Delta Virus
Delta-Like Agents and Taxonomy
Pathogenesis
Viral Interactions
Epidemiology and Transmission
Clinical Issues
Therapy
Liver Transplantation
Perspectives

Hepatitis Delta Virus: Molecular Biology, Pathogenesis, and Clinical Aspects is a unique work that integrates findings from recent molecular investigations with the latest clinical data on the spread and treatment of HDV. Offering current, authoritative information and an extensive global perspective, this volume is an essential reference for molecular virologists, immunologists, infectious disease specialists, hepatologists, gatroenterologists, and hematologists.
