Core Tip	There is a need for disinfectants with proven virucidal activity against the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Feasible HBV infectivity assays are not available; therefore, the establishment of surrogate models for HBV infection is of high importance. This paper reviews the application of the most promising and feasible assay, the use of the duck hepatitis B virus, which can be propagated in vitro in primary duck embryonic hepatocytes. The paper also describes how and why this model can be used to evaluate the efficacy of disinfectants against HBV.
