, Adenoviruses are DNA viruses first
isolated from adenoidal tissue in 1953.
Thisfamily consists of double-
stranded DNA viruses with an icosahedral
nucleocapsid.
They
have been recovered from many
mammalian and avian species.
Many are found in the respiratory tract and
infections are often persistent. Only a small
number cause numerous diseases.
