Animal Viruses, Including Protozoal Viruses

Abstract

The 12 vertex capsomers (pentons) carry strain-characteristic glycoprotein fibers (1O-30-nm long) with knobs at the ends; the rest is made up of hexons. The genome is linear doublestranded DNA of 20-25 x 10 6 daltons in the mammalian and 28-30 x 10 6 daltons in the avian viruses. At least ten proteins of 5-120 x 10 3 daltons make up the virion. Each adenovirus has a narrow host range. Several are oncogenic in newborn nonhosts. Serological relations among the many different adenoviruses usually called "types" are very limited. Two genera have been defined (MASTAOENOVIRUS and AVIADENOVIRUSi subgroups AD or I-IV), and species names for those found in various animals have been proposed with h1-h34 for the (sero)types of the human virus species. Similar differentiation of serotypes are used for the animal adenoviruses (27 simian, ten bovine, eight avian, four porcine, two canine, and one ovine and opossum in 1979). Adenoviruses generally cause only light upper respiratory diseases (Figure 1).
