Cette étape de transcription inverse place le virus de l'hépatite B dans une situation tout à fait nouvelle parmi les animaux à ADN. Jusqu'à ce jour, seuls des virus à ADN phylogénétiquement très proches partagent avec lui cette caractéristique. Ce sont les hépadnavirus responsables d'hépatites chez la marmotte (woodchuck hepatitis virus,WHD), le canard de Pékin (duck-hepatitis B virus, DHBV) et l'écureuil fouisseur (grounsquirrel hepatitis virus, GSHV), ainsi que deux autres hépadnavirus identifiés chez le héron et l'écureuil sylvestre. 3, record 4, French, - virus%20de%20l%27h%C3%A9patite%20de%20la%20marmotte
