This review provides an update of the genetic content, phylogeny and evolution of the family
Adenoviridae. An appraisal of the condition of adenovirus genomics highlights the need to …

New advances in the field of genetic characterization of adenoviruses originating from
different animal species are summarized. Variations seen in the host range and specificity …

Adenoviruses are medium-sized double stranded DNA viruses that infect vertebrates.
Human adenoviruses cause an array of diseases. Currently there are 56 human adenovirus …

Publisher Summary The adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are the only known DNA animal
viruses that are absolutely dependent upon coinfection by a second unrelated virus to …

Both well‐known and emerging viruses increasingly affect humans and cause disease,
sometimes with devastating impact on society. The viruses present in the biosphere are the …

Phylogenetic comparisons of adenovirus DNA sequences, including the recently completed
genomic sequences of Ad40 and Ad12, have been performed in order to investigate the …

A first report on the family Adenoviridae with its two genera Mastadenovirus (M) and
Aviadenovirus (A), terms created in 1975, has been published [1]. Since that time, a wealth …

Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the various properties of the adenoviruses, such
as the nature of virion and the controlling factors in the productive or abortive infection. The …

Adenoviruses (AdVs) infect representatives of numerous species from almost every major
vertebrate class, albeit their incidence shows great variability. AdVs infecting birds, reptiles …

The recent emergence of highly virulent human adenoviruses (HAdVs) with new tissue
tropisms underscores the need to determine their ontogeny. Here we report complete high …
