    Notes: Abstract Markers of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection have been detected all over the five continents. Geographical prevalence varied heavily: HDV infection is very rare in Far East Asia, but extremely frequent in Arabian countries, in Romania and in certain Indian populations of South America. In Europe and in the USA the infection is widely spread among high risk groups such as intravenous drug abusers and haemophiliacs,

    Worldwide epidemiology and modes of transmission of delta hepatitis (1987)

    Notes: Conclusions Since the discovery of HDV in 1977 byRizzetto and collegues (10), several studies regarding the pathogenesis, natural history and epidemiology of this infection have been accumulated. It emerges that HDV is an agent with unusual biologic properties which requires HBV replication for its expression. Given the obligatory association between HDV and HBV, transmission of HDV follows the same routes of HBV transmission. This implies that one expects HDV infection to be much more prevalent in countries with high HBsAg carrier rates. This is true in most areas of the world but not in Far East Asia. Endemicity of HDV is maintained in the community through the network of HBsAg carriers. HDV can be transmitted to HBV positive and negative individuals, but survives only after encountering the carrier. Recent outbreaks of severe epidemics of fulminant hepatitis due to HDV among the Yucpa Indians in Northern Venezuela, pointed out very clearly that HDV superinfection is an ominous risk for all populations where HBV is endemic.
