Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: The Adenovirus Study Group’s main function is the biological and molecular characterization of animal adenoviruses. In the passed decade, the Adenovirus Study Group has characterized the genome of new animal adenovirus isolates and compared them to the well-known mammalian adenoviruses. Based on the DNA sequences, the recognition of a unique genomic organization and the results of phylogenetic analyses, adenoviruses have been divided into separate taxons equivalent to the existing two (Mastadenovirus & Aviadenovirus) genera within the family Adenoviridae. We have established two new genera: Atadenovirus and Siadenovirus. |
