Adenoviruses are a family of viruses that can cause a wide range of illnesses in humans and animals. They are non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses that have a size of around 70-90 nanometers.In humans, adenoviruses can cause respiratory infections, such as the common cold, bronchitis, and pneumonia. They can also cause conjunctivitis (pink eye), gastroenteritis, cystitis, and other illnesses. Adenoviruses can be spread through direct contact with infected individuals, airborne droplets, or by touching contaminated surfaces.There are different types of adenoviruses, and each type is associated with specific illnesses. For example, adenovirus type 4 and type 7 can cause severe respiratory illnesses, especially in military recruits and people living in close quarters. Adenovirus type 40 and type 41 can cause gastroenteritis, while adenovirus type 2 and type 5 are often used as vectors for gene therapy and vaccine development. There is currently no specific treatment for adenovirus infections, and most cases resolve on their own. However, supportive care can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. Prevention measures include good hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing and avoiding contact with infected individuals. Vaccines are also available for some types of adenoviruses, such as the military vaccine for adenovirus types 4 and 7.
news about Adenoviruses

e access to news sources. However, I can provide some general information about recent developments related to adenoviruses.
In recent years, adenoviruses have gained attention due to their potential use in gene therapy and vaccine development. Adenoviral vectors, which are modified adenoviruses that cannot replicate, have been used to deliver genes into cells for therapeutic purposes. They have also been used as a platform for developing vaccines against infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
In 2020, there were reports of adenovirus-vectored COVID-19 vaccines, including the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and the Sputnik V vaccine developed in Russia. These vaccines have shown efficacy in clinical trials and have been authorized for use in several countries.
in addition, there have been recent outbreaks of adenovirus infections in various settings, including military training facilities and universities. In 2019, an outbreak of adenovirus type 7 infections at a New Jersey pediatric facility resulted in the deaths of 11 children.
Researchers continue to study adenoviruses and their potential uses in medicine, as well as ways to prevent and treat adenovirus infections.
