The influence of relativistic contributions to deuteron electrodisintegration is systematically studied in various kinematic regions of energy and momentum transfer. As theoretical framework the equation-of-motion and the unitarily equivalent S-matrix approaches are used. In a (p/M) expansion, all leading order relativistic {pi}-exchange contributions consistent with the Bonn one-boson-exchange potential model (OBEPQ) are included. In addition, static heavy-meson-exchange currents including boost terms, {gamma}{pi}{rho}/{omega} currents, and {Delta}-isobar contributions are considered. Sizable effects from the various relativistic two-body contributions, mainly from {pi} exchange, have been found in inclusive form factors and exclusive structure functions for a variety of kinematic regions. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
