Hepadnaviruses are known to show tropism for the liver, which means they have a predilection for infecting and multiplying in liver cells. They are not transmitted by respiratory secretions and are enveloped, partially double-stranded DNA viruses. Adenoviruses belong to a separate family of nonenveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses.
