Adenoviridae /Ad·e·no·vi·ri·dae/ (ad?e-no-vir´i-de) the adenoviruses: a family of DNA viruses with a double-stranded genome, generally with a narrow host range, and transferred by direct or indirect transmission; it includes the genus Mastadenovirus .
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. |

For instance, all members of the family Herpesviridae are
enveloped viruses that contain an icosahedral particle and
double-stranded DNA, whereas all members of the family Adenoviridae are
nonenveloped viruses that contain an icosahedral particle and
double-stranded DNA, with projecting fibers at the vertices of the
protein shell.
Standard diagnostic evaluations on these stools included culture for
Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Aeromonas, and
Plesiomonas; identification of Rotavirus, Adenoviridae, Astrovirus, and
Caliciviridae by enzyme immunoassay; and microscopy for Entamoeba
histolytica, Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Isospora
belli, and Giardia lamblia. |
