Experimental chronic hepatitis B infection of neonatal tree shrews (<it>Tupaia belangeri chinensis</it>): A model to study molecular causes for susceptibility and disease progression to chronic hepatitis in humans

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to be an escalating global health problem. Feasible and effective animal models for HBV infection are the prerequisite for developing novel therapies for this disease. The tree shrew (<i...
