##article.abstract##

Hepatitis B, caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), is a contagious disease that leads to inflammation of the liver cells, often accompanied by jaundice and metabolic disorders. It frequently progresses to chronic hepatitis and can eventually cause liver cirrhosis. The virus, discovered in 1967, belongs to the Hepadnaviridae family. Its genome consists of two strands of DNA. The internal membrane is connected to an external membrane, which makes it highly resistant to external environments. It can survive for up to three months at room temperature. In the refrigerator, it can remain viable for six months, and when frozen, it can persist for up to 15-20 years.
