The carrier stage of hepatitis-B virus (HBV) is of: Correct Answer 9 months

Concept:-

  • Hepatitis-B virus (HBV): hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus, an enveloped virus containing a partially double-stranded, circular DNA genome, and classified within the family of hepadnavirus.
  • The carrier stage of hepatitis-B virus (HBV): 9 months.
  • The hepatitis B virus can survive outside the body for at least 7 days.
  • During this time, the virus can still cause infection if it enters the body of a person who is not protected by the vaccine.
  • The incubation period of the hepatitis B virus ranges from 30 to 180 days

Structure of hepatitis B virus:

  • Hepatitis virus is a DNA virus with a remarkably compact genomic structure.
  • It has circular partially double-stranded DNA viruses.
  • Replication occurs by reverse transcriptase.
  • It is a small, circular 3200 base–pair size, HBV DNA codes for four sets of viral products, and has a complex, multiparticle structure.
