Hepatitis delta virus is the only representative of the Deltavirus genus, which consists of 7 differentiated major clades. In this study, an eighth clade was identified from 3 distinct strains. Deltavirus genetic variability should be considered for diagnostic purposes. Clinical consequences of the diversity have yet to be evaluated.
丁型肝炎病毒是丁型病毒属的唯一代表，该属由7个不同的主要进化枝组成。在本研究中，从3个不同菌株中鉴定出了第8个进化枝。为了诊断目的，应考虑丁型病毒的遗传变异性。这种多样性的临床后果尚待评估。
