Abstract
In this paper we model and analyze the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in a diffusion model confined to a finite domain, induced by intracellular time delay between infection of a cell and production of new virus particles. The equilibrium solutions are obtained and the stability is analyzed if the space is assumed as homogeneous. When the space is inhomogeneous, the effects of diffusion and intracellular time delay are obtained by computer simulations.
