Why hepatitis d virus is called as hepatitis delta virus?

if u dont answer then ill kill u.im serious!!!!!!!!!!!!

delta is the greek version of D so saying hepatitis d virus is the same as saying hepatitis delta virus.

This virus is special though as infection can only occur if the patient is already infected with hepatitis B. Hep d has an incomplete dna sequence and therefore needs to hijack some of the dna of hep b. the dna codes for proteins and such and hep d needs hep b in order to live*.

* however viruses are not strictly alive, but thats another issue...
