Biotechnological Uses[edit]

It would be good to add a "biotechnological uses" section. 134.173.97.220 21:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC) incorrect info[reply]

according to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Tree&id=10509&lvl=3&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock

there are not 40 serotypes of human adenovirus, (see the mastadenovirus) part but 51

Image[edit]

I don't think the image is too good. Why should the article show any other viruses at all? And if for comparison - why only these thre? I mean those three viruses are not the only three kinds of viruses existing in the world. --149.156.87.152 08:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Is it not typical to locate the article at the singular of the word?
- I believe for families in zoology and virology it is customary for the plural form to be used. If you look at scientific classification, all the families and subfamilies are in plural, although none of the phyla, classes, orders, etc. are. --Joelmills 03:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Size[edit]

--- The article states that the virus is between 60-90nm in diameter. Is this with or without fibre diameter?

Erroneous redirect[edit]

The redirect from Adeno_associated_virus_group is completely inaccurate, adeno-associated virus and adenovirus are not synonymous terms. NCBI taxonomy browser links provided as evidence.

This has now been fixed. 69.115.94.176 (talk) 19:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

do not incorporate their DNA[edit]

I think it should be pointed out somewhere that adenoviruses do not incorporate their DNA into the host genome. The reader has to conclude this vital characteristic by himself after reading the whole passage about replication. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.245.76.225 (talk) 13:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article introduction too long[edit]

The article's introduction is not much smaller than the entire rest of the article. Revising this and moving the meat down can be a contribute significantly to improving the article's quality. 81.93.102.185 (talk) 16:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Arcadian (talk) 02:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

incubation, shedding, transmission[edit]

Please list the incubation period, as well as the average duration of viral shedding, transmission during asymptomatic period and such. Also differential route of infection as compared with other viral and bacterial pathogens may be useful, likewise differential pathology, e.g. pharyngitis, bronchitis. Tx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomasdelbeke (talk • contribs) 08:09, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vaccination[edit]

It says in the prevention area that the US Military vaccinated recruits, then in the treatment section it section it says there is no vaccine for humans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.128.192.32 (talk) 18:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

simple examples[edit]

intro paragraph: "...and many infections in adults as well." Give me some examples, without big words. I would but I don't understand which what. "so-called stomach flus", "some colds", "pink eye", "cancer", "diarrhea". This is a broad category of viruses responsible for a variety of diseases - pretty cerebral for the layman. Words like 'gastroenteritis' or 'respiratory disease' are more hazy for non-experts. Keep in mind that these non-experts will probably not read farther in the article, so you can either tell them "blah blah bigword blah blah" or you can tell them some information they can understand. The rest of the article can have the big words that are more precise. OsamaBinLogin (talk) 01:17, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken a stab, but this still needs some work - the two paragraphs of the lede need to be refactored for flow. Thanks for calling attention to this. -- Scray (talk) 02:34, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Range of genome size[edit]

I just modified article to show range as 26-48Kbp, rather than 26-45Kbp. 2013 report of ICTV states that White sturgeon adenovirus 1 (WSAdV-1), the sole species of genus Ichtadenovirus has 48,395 bp. 58.58.26.162 (talk) 07:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)Ray Glock-Grueneich[reply]

Interesting passage / Definition:[edit]

Epidemiology>Transmission:... Research into the molecular mechanisms underlying adenoviral transmission provide empirical evidence in support of the hypothesis that cellular receptors for adenovirus and coxsackievirus (CARs) are needed to transport adenoviruses into certain naive/progenitor cell types.[14]>Perhaps, would be a little more precisely expressed.

Wikipedia is not written especially for children.Graham Beards (talk) 12:43, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't be a surprise that a highly specialised subject requires technical language to communicate about it. You may be interested in the Simple English Wikipedia instead. Ypna (talk) 02:17, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
