Novel Human Adenovirus Strain, Bangladesh

Genome Sequence of a Novel Virus of the Species Human Adenovirus D Associated with Acute Gastroenteritis

A novel virus of the species human adenovirus D, HAdV-67 (P-New/H9/F25), was first isolated from diarrheal feces of six children in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. The genome of this novel virus may be composed of multiple recombinations among HAdV-9, HAdV-25, HAdV-26, HAdV-33, HAdV-46, and an unknown human adenovirus D which was an origin of HAdV-67.

Molecular Identification of Fowl Adenovirus Associated with Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Iran

Background and Aims: Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) is one of the most important reemerging diseases in many countries with intensive poultry industries. In Iran, the etiological agent of IBH (fowl adenovirus) has not been yet confirmed. The aim of this study was the molecular detection and identification of fowl adenovirus involving IBH in chicken flocks in Iran. Materials and Methods: Polymer...

Identification of New Provisional Simian Adenovirus Species from Captive Monkeys, China

To the Editor: Adenoviruses commonly infect vertebrates, including humans and nonhuman primates (1). Adenoviruses from humans and animals were initially classified by differences in their agglutinating erythrocytes; now, however, they are often classified by sequence and phylogenetic analyses of their respective genes (2). One simian adenovirus species, SAdV-A, has been recognized by the Intern...

Production of Recombinant Adenovirus Containing Human Interlukin-4 Gene

Objective(s) Recombinant adenoviruses are currently used for a variety of purposes, including in vitro gene transfer, in vivo vaccination, and gene therapy. Ability to infect many cell types, high efficiency in gene transfer, entering both dividing and non dividing cells, and growing to high titers make this virus a good choice for using in various experiments. In the present experiment, a reco...
