Adenovirus

Adenovirus is a type of virus that can cause a wide range of symptoms from the common cold to more serious illnesses such as conjunctivitis, gastroenteritis and pneumonia. It can also cause infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and digestive tract. Adenoviruses have been increasingly recognized for their potential use in gene therapy, and as carriers for cancer treatments and vaccines. They are also used in research as a model system for studying the structure and function of viral particles, viral replication, and viral-host interactions.
