TLDR
The genomics of this novel HAdV, designated the H adV-D70 [P70H70F29] prototype, supported the significance of multiple recombinations in the phylogeny of HAdv-D.Abstract:
A human mastadenovirus D (HAdV-D) isolated from diarrhoeal faeces of an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (SCT) recipient was found to be non-typable by sequencing of loops 1 and 2 of the hexon main neutralization epitope (‘imputed serology’). In contrast to HAdV-C, HAdV-D infections are rarely observed in SCT patients. Therefore, the whole genome of this isolate was sequenced and phylogenetically analysed. In addition, microneutralization testing with type-specific antisera was performed. A complete genomic sequence of 35.2 kb in length with a GC content of 57 % was obtained and found to be distantly related to HAdV-D27 (96.25 % identity). Imputed serology implicated a new type with a nucleotide sequence identity of only 96.11 % to HAdV-D37 (loop 1) and 95.76 % to HAdV-D30 and HAdV-D37 (loop 2). Microneutralization testing confirmed that this clinical isolate was not neutralized by HAdV-D37- or HAdV-D30-specific antisera. The penton base gene showed a novel sequence, which clustered with HAdV-D38, but bootscan analysis indicated an intra-penton recombination event with HAdV-D60. Another recombination event was detected within the early gene region E3 with the 12.2 kDa and CR1-α genes derived from HAdV-D58. Moreover, the E4 region was derived from HAdV-D13, but all these genes had evolved significantly from their ancestors. By contrast, the recombinant fibre gene was almost 100 % identical to HAdV-D29. In conclusion, the genomics of this novel HAdV, designated the HAdV-D70 [P70H70F29] prototype, supported the significance of multiple recombinations in the phylogeny of HAdV-D.read more

TL;DR: Treatment of AdV infections is controversial, as prospective, randomized therapeutic trials have not been conducted, and Cidofovir is the drug of choice for severe AdV infection, but not all patients require treatment.

TL;DR: The prevalence of HAdV species, the frequencies of persistence in the GI tract and reactivations post transplant indicated a correlation of intestinal H adenoviruses shedding pre-transplant with high risk of invasive infection.

Human adenovirus type 7 infection causes a more severe disease than type 3
TL;DR: Clinical characteristics revealed that HAdV-7 infection caused more severe pneumonia, toxic encephalopathy, respiratory failure, longer mean hospitalization, significantly lower white blood cell (WBC) and platelet counts, compared to those of H adenovirus 3, and viral fitness showed significant differences as well.

Simple methods for estimating the numbers of synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions.
Masatoshi Nei,Takashi Gojobori +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that all available methods tend to give an underestimate of the number of nonsynonymous substitutions when the number is large and computer simulation indicates that estimates of synonymous substitutions obtained by the two methods are quite accurate unless the numberof nucleotide substitutions per site is very large.

TL;DR: Because these clones were obtained from Indian seroconverters, they are likely to facilitate vaccine-related efforts in India by providing potential antigens for vaccine candidates as well as for assays of vaccine responsiveness.
