Hepatitis viruses research started more than fifty years ago. The
names of hepatitis A and hepatitis B were introduced in 1947 when
it became clear that there were two types of hepatitis that were
transmitted either enterically or parenterally. It became apparent
in the 1970's that there were additional hepatitis viruses distinct
from hepatitis A and hepatitis B, and thus, the term non-A, non-B
hepatitis was introduced. The non-A, non-B hepatitis was further
divided into post-transfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis and
enterically-transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis in the 1980's. By
the end of the 1980's, both post-transfusion non-A, non-B virus and
enterically-transmitted non-A, non-B virus had been identified and
renamed hepatitis C virus and hepatitis E virus, respectively.
Hepatitis delta antigen was first recognized as an antigen
associated with hepatitis B virus infection in the 1970's. In the
early 1980's, a virus was isolated and named hepatitis delta virus.
These five different hepatitis viruses have distinct replication
pathways and are major health concerns. They have become an
important topic for teaching to graduate-level and medical
students. Hepatitis Viruses provides a comprehensive, up-to-date
review of these viruses to readers. Each chapter is written by one
of the top researchers in the field, and topics include: the
epidemiology and the natural history of infection of these viruses,
the molecular biology and the replication cycle of individual
hepatitis viruses, host-virus interactions and the pathogenesis of
hepatitis viruses, the immunology of hepatitis viruses, the
relationship between hepatitis viruses and hepatocellular
carcinoma, the viral vaccines and antiviral drugs. This book can
serve as a supplemental reading material to graduate students and
medical students, and to any researcher who would like to learn
more about hepatitis viruses.
