The transmission probability of chronic HBV from individuals with single HBV infection () was varied from 0 to 0.4. A, B: hepatitis D reduces HBV infectivity by 50% in individuals dually infected (); C, D: hepatitis D does not suppress HBV replication (). Left panels show the total prevalence of HBV (black solid line), the prevalence of hepatitis D (black dashed line), and the prevalence of HBV in a population without hepatitis D (grey line). Right panels show the reproduction numbers R_b (solid line), R_bd (dashed line), and (dotted line).
