The family comprises small enveloped viruses with a partially double-stranded DNA genome of 3.0-3.4 kb. All family members express three sets of proteins (preC/C, polymerase and preS/S) and replication involves reverse transcription within nucleocapsids in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. Hepadnaviruses are hepatotropic and infections may be transient or persistent. There are five genera: , , and . This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family which is available at ictv.global/report/hepadnaviridae.
该科包含小的有包膜病毒,基因组为部分双链 DNA,大小 3.0-3.4kb。所有成员表达三组蛋白(前 C/C、聚合酶和前 S/S),复制涉及在细胞质的核衣壳内进行逆转录。嗜肝 DNA 病毒有嗜肝性,感染可以是短暂的,也可以是持续的。该科分为五个属: 、 、 、 和 。本文是国际病毒分类委员会(ICTV)关于该科的报告摘要,可在 ictv.global/report/hepadnaviridae 上查阅。
