Adenoviridae

the family of viruses containing two genera, Mastadenovirus, which are the mammalian adenoviruses, and Aviadenovirus, which contain the bird adenoviruses. Virons are nonenveloped, 70 nm diameter and contain a double-stranded DNA molecule of about 30 to 35 kilobase pairs. They grow in cell cultures producing cytopathology and each species has a relatively narrow host range. Adenoviruses are common causes of relatively mild upper respiratory disease and of enteric infections. The type species is human adenovirus h1.
