Keywords: respiratory, viruses, pneumonia, croup, gastroenteritis

A virus responsible for upper respiratory tract infections. Recombinant adenovirus is used as a gene therapy vector.

First discovered in human adenoids (an adenoid is a tissue at the back of the throat), this group of 20-sided viruses causes respiratory and other diseases. Adenoviruses contain DNA.

history.nih.gov

A virus that can cause respiratory and eye infections, and that is being investigated as a part of a strategy known as gene therapy. Adenovirus is used to deliver one of a number of genes that may have a role in treating cancer including melanoma, as well as other diseases.

melanomacenter.org

a Class I virus containing a single double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which can cause infections in the upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract in many animals.

embryology.med.unsw.edu.au

A group of viruses responsible for a group of respiratory diseases (common cold, pneumonia, croup, bronchiolitis, and bronchitis), infections of the stomach and intestine (gastroenteritis), eyes (conjunctivitis), bladder (cystitis), and rashes. Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus infection.

providence.org

any of a group of viruses including those that in humans cause upper respiratory infections or infectious pinkeye

wordnet.princeton.edu

A group of DNA viruses that mainly cause respiratory disease and conjunctivitis.

aidsorigins.com

another early vector in gene therapy; used when gene transfer into the chromosomes of target cells was not needed

biology.kenyon.edu

a virus. There are many different adenovirus varieties some of which cause the common cold.

oxti.com

a common virus that causes colds and sore throats. A defective adenovirus (one that cannot grow or cause adenovirus infections in humans) is sometimes used as a vector in HIV vaccines.

stepstudies.com

An infection causing respiratory disease which in severe cases may include pneumonia and broncopneumonia

game-dog.com

a family of double-stranded DNA viruses that are the cause of the common cold.

aids.hallym.ac.kr

a type of DNA-based virus.

aegis.org

(adeno: Latin for "gland", historical description, since these viruses used to be isolated from tonsils and rhinopolypuses) Big family of DNA-containing viruses, normally causing mild infections of the respiratory system.

dhgp.de

A group of viruses responsible for a spectrum of respiratory disease as well as infection of the stomach and intestine ( gastroenteritis ), eyes ( conjunctivitis ), and bladder ( cystitis ) and rash . Adenovirus respiratory diseases include a form of the common cold , pneumonia , croup , and bronchitis . Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus infection. Acute respiratory disease (ARD), a disorder first recognized among military recruits during World War II, can be caused by adenovirus infections under conditions of crowding and stress. See the entire definition of Adenovirus

medicinenet.com

any one of the 33 medium-sized viruses of the Adenoviridae family that cause conjunctivitis, upper respiratory infection or gastrointestinal infection.

healthcarea2z.org

A virus that causes clinical conditions such as the common cold and respiratory infections.

bscs.org

(ADD-no-VY-rus) The two strains of adenovirus, type-1 and type-2, cause infectious hepatitis and respiratory infection, respectively. Most adult dogs can recover from hepatitis, but puppies often can't. Adenovirus type-1 can cause fever, diarrhea, and severe liver, kidney and eye damage. Adenovirus type-2 can contribute to respiratory disease (canine cough).

bullwrinkle.com

A group of DNA containing viruses which cause respiratory disease, including one form of the common cold. Adenoviruses can also be genetically modified and used in gene therapy to treat cystic fibrosis, cancer, and potentially other diseases.

asgt.org

DNA containing virus that causes infections of the upper respiratory tract producing symptoms similar to those of the common cold.

op.net

A vector that an animal virus derivatives of which have been used to clone genes in mammalian cells.

jbilife.com

One of the viruses that cause the common cold.

naturesclinic.co.uk

A group of viruses that cause respiratory tract and eye infections. Adenoviruses used in gene therapy are altered to carry a specific tumor-fighting gene.
