Hepatitis delta virus (HDV), which causes severe acute and chronic liver disease, was discovered nearly 30 years ago following the detection of a novel antigen-antibody system in hepatitis B virus carriers. HDV has continued to surprise and fascinate medical science ever since. This volume reviews recent developments in HDV research, from molecular virology to genetics to experimental investigation of new therapeutic and vaccine candidates.
