Core Tip	Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is the etiologic agent of probably the most severe form of virus hepatitis. HDV replication and spread depends on the presence of hepatitis B virus which provides the enve-lope proteins coded exclusively by its own genome. About 20 million people are currently chronically infected with HDV and no specific therapy is still available. Here, we review the current knowledge on HDV biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment. Future trends and perspectives are discussed in the light of recent developments on HDV biology and its interaction with the host.
