Abstract
Particles with properties similar to those associated with human hepatitis B were found in serum from woodchucks [Marmota monax] with chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Woodchuck hepatitis virus is probably a 2nd member of a novel class of viruses represented by the human hepatitis B virus.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
