#Hepatitis a virus discovered to cloak itself in membranes hijacked from infected cellsviruses have historically been classified into one of two types--those with an outer lipid-containing envelope and those without an envelope.
For the first time researchers at the University of North carolina have discovered that Hepatitis a virus a common cause of enterically-transmitted hepatitis takes on characteristics of both virus types depending on
In a paper published online in Nature on March 31 Dr. Lemon's team discovered that Hepatitis a virus does not have an envelope
What we have discovered is that a virus that has been considered classically to be enveloped'non'that is Hepatitis a virus actually hijacks membranes from the cells it grows in to wrap itself in an envelope.
Dr. Lemon believes the dual nature of Hepatitis a virus allows it to use the advantages of both virus types to enhance its survivability.
What Hepatitis a virus has done and we don't totally understand how it has accomplished this is to have the advantage of existing as a virus with no envelope
While no other virus has been shown to exhibit this particular behavior Dr. Lemon said that it is likely that Hepatitis a virus is not unique in its dual nature.
