Three fowl adenovirus 4 (FAV4) isolates from chicken and one from quail, all from Tamil Nadu, India were analyzed. The L1 loop variable region of hexon gene of these isolates was amplified by PCR and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences (442 bp) and deduced amino acid sequences of the four isolates were compared with those of other isolates of FAV4. The nucleotide sequences of the four isolates had a 98% homology with other Indian isolates and a 96% homology with Belgian and Russian isolates. The amino acid sequences of the four Indian isolates had a more than 98% homology with other Indian isolates and a more than 92% homology with Belgian and Russian isolates. Hence, the variable of L1 loop region of hexon gene was found to be highly homologous in all the FAV4 isolates tested both at nucleotide and amino acid level.

Adenovirus-based therapies have encountered significant challenges due to host immunity, particularly from pre-existing antibodies. Many trials have struggled to evade antibody response; however, the efficiency of these efforts was limited by the diversity of antibody Fv-region recognizing multiple amino acid sequences. In this study, we developed an antibody-evading adenovirus vector by encoding a plasma-rich protein transferrin-binding domain.

Canine coronavirus (CCoV), canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV), canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), and canine norovirus (CNV) are important pathogens for canine viral gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases. Especially, co-infections with these viruses exacerbate the damages of diseases. In this study, four pairs of primers and probes were designed to specifically amplify the conserved regions of the CCoV M gene, CRCoV N gene, CAV-2 hexon gene, and CNV RdRp gene.

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are highly contagious and have significant clinical implications in the pediatric population. In the present study, we employed a combination of long-read sequencing and short-read sequencing to accurately reconstruct 32 genomes of HAdVs. The phylogenetic analyses based on the whole genome and genes revealed distinct sub-clusters within HAdV-B and -E.

By coupling long-range polymerase chain reaction, wastewater-based epidemiology, and pathogen sequencing, we show that adenovirus type 41 hexon-sequence lineages, described in children with hepatitis of unknown origin in the United States in 2021, were already circulating within the country in 2019. We also observed other lineages in the wastewater, whose complete genomes have yet to be documented from clinical samples.
