“…But such a basal placement is not justified by the sequence identity values. The lowest pairwise sequence identity of 44.0% was measured between the sulphur-crested cockatoo adenovirus 1 (QGM48611) and the common chaffinch adenovirus 1 (QIA50609) in the Atadenovirus genus (Rinder et al 2020 ; Vaz et al 2020 ), whereas the chimney swift atadenovirus 1 shared 64.4% sequence identity with the common tern adenovirus 1 (Kraberger et al 2022 ). The used 90-amino acids-long stretch is adequate for a genus and a preliminary species level typing usually and employed excessively for this purpose (Kaján et al 2011 ; Kaján 2016 ).…”

Wild birds are threatened by anthropic effects on a global scale, and their adenoviruses might contribute to their endangerment. Thus, it is important to reveal the real biodiversity of avian adenoviruses, as, unfortunately, this research topic is far from being prioritized. The turkey hemorrhagic enteritis is an economically important disease causing high mortalities, and its causative siadenoviral agent is only distantly related to other avian siadenoviruses in phylogenetic analyses. Both to enhance our knowledge about the biodiversity of wild bird adenoviruses and to possibly trace back the origin of the turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus, numerous Hungarian wild bird samples were screened for adenoviruses using PCR, and the detected strains were typed molecularly. The screening revealed numerous new adenovirus types, several of which represent novel adenovirus species as well, in the genera Atadenovirus, Aviadenovirus and Siadenovirus.
