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.
