The epidemiology of hepatitis D occurs worldwide. [1] Although the figures are disputed, a recent systematic review suggests that up to 60 million individuals could be infected. [ 2 ] The major victims are the carriers of the hepatitis B surface antigen ( HBsAg ), who become superinfected by the HDV, and intravenous drug users who are the group ...
The prenylation inhibitor lonafarnib prevents hepatitis D viral particle assembly by inhibiting the farnesylation of the L-HDAg. [53] REP2139-Ca is a nucleic acid polymer that prevents the release of hepatitis B surface antigen (which is required for assembly of hepatitis D viral particles). [54]
Hepatitis D is a defective virus that requires hepatitis B to replicate and is only found with hepatitis B co-infection. [17] In adults, hepatitis B infection is most commonly self-limiting, with less than 5% progressing to chronic state, and 20 to 30% of those chronically infected developing cirrhosis or liver cancer.

A 10-year longitudinal cohort monitoring study in Finland demonstrated that median hair total mercury concentrations increased in individuals who lived 2km from a mercury polluting power plant compared to unexposed reference groups living further away (Kurttio et al., 1998). A study performed in China demonstrated
