Adenovirus
Synonym(s): BAdV
Introduction
Classification
Taxonomy
- Family: Adenoviridae.
- Genera:
- Mastadenovirus (BAdV-1, -2, -3, -9 and -10).
- Atadenovirus groups (BAdV-4, -5, 6, -7 and -8).
Etymology
- Gk: adeno – gland.
- Named as the virus was first isolated from adenoid tissue.
- The nomenclature of the adenoviruses has been subject to significant change, which can be confusing when researching them.
Distribution
- Worldwide, especially Africa and Central America.
Significance
- Adenoviruses have been associated with respiratory and enteric diseases in cattle and with weak calf syndrome Weak calf syndrome but may also be isolated from asymptomatic animals.
- In the 1970s Cutlip et al demonstrated that experimental infections with a BAdV-5 strain isolated from an infected calf led to disease pathology consistent with weak calf syndrome.
- Experimentally, abortions and stillbirths Abortion and stillbirths: overview have been induced via adenovirus infection.
