Snake Kolmiovirus Encodes a Single Form of Delta Antigen and Shows No Evidence of Translation from Open Reading Frame 2

Leonóra Szirovicza, Udo Hetzel, Tomas M. Strandin…·Jussi Hepojoki

This study investigates the protein expression of Swiss snake colony virus 1 (SwSCV-1) and finds it encodes only a single form of the delta antigen, unlike hepatitis D virus (HDV), and the additional ORF2 does not produce a functional protein.

Short '1.2x genome' infectious clone initiates deltavirus replication in Boa constrictor cells

Leonóra Szirovicza, Udo Hetzel, Anja Kipar, Jussi Hepojoki

The paper introduces a 1.2x genome infectious clone strategy for deltaviruses, demonstrating its ability to initiate replication in snake cells without helper viruses.
