The prevalence of enteric adenoviruses detected by an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (the RIVM-ELISA) ranged from 13 to 38%, and subgroup F adenoviruses comprised 86%. All subgroup F adenoviruses reacted with both RIVM anti-adenovirus type 40 (Ad40) and anti-adenovirus type 41 (Ad41) monoclonal antibodies but were not detected by Adenoclone Type 40/41 enzyme immunoassay (EIA). The c...

Adenoviruses are important human pathogens that have been developed as vectors for gene therapies and genetic vaccines. Previous studies indicated that human infections with adenoviruses are self-limiting in immunocompetent hosts with evidence of some persistence in adenoid tissue. We sought to better understand the natural history of adenovirus infections in various non-human primates and disc...

Production of an interferon-like substance was demonstrated in primary chick embryo cells inoculated with human adenoviruses. In this rescept various examined types behaved similarly. Treatment of the virus with homologous immune serum, heat or trypsin resulted in the loss of its inducing capacity. The presence of mycoplasma had no influence on the induction of the interferonlike substance due ...

This study was conducted to molecularly detect avian adenoviruses in broiler flocks showing liver lesions and respiratory syndrome in northeast Iran. In total, 60 tissue samples were collected from broiler farms with liver lesions, respiratory syndrome and also from clinically healthy flocks. Six samples were positive; however, three samples were selected for molecular studies. PCR products wer...

conclusions in conclusion, the results of our study showed that the major viral pathogens that caused infantile diarrhea in zabol city were rotaviruses followed by adenoviruses and noroviruses. the results of our study can useful for prosperous control of infantile diarrhea. background viruses are one of the major reasons of gastrointestinal disease worldwide, and commonly infect children less ...

Human adenoviruses infection causes diseases worldwide in all age groups and genders, which is associated with a wide range of affecting the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory urinary eye, but they are often isolated from pharynx stool asymptomatic children. However, developing countries, diarrhea major cause morbidity mortality; after rotaviruses, human considered to be second most important ...

The Adenoviridae and Polyomaviridae families comprise a wide diversity of viruses which may be excreted for long periods in feces or urine. In this study, a preliminary analysis of the prevalence in the environment and the potential usefulness as source-tracking tools of human and animal adenoviruses and polyomaviruses has been developed. Molecular assays based on PCR specifically targeting hum...

Adenoviruses cause a wide variety of human infectious diseases. Adenoviral conjunctivitis and epidemic keratoconjunctivitis are commonly associated with human species D adenoviruses. Currently, there is no sufficient or appropriate treatment to counteract these adenovirus infections. Thus, there is an urgent need for new etiology-directed therapies with selective activity against human adenovir...
