Abstract:
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are a group of non-enveloped double-stranded DNA viruses, including seven groups (A-G) and more than 80 serotypes/genotypes. HAdVs, mainly including HAdV-B, HAdV-C and HAdV-E, are one of the important pathogens of respiratory tract infections. China has a vast territory, and the predominant genotypes of HAdVs vary in different regions. In this article, I review the prevalence of different types of HAdVs that cause respiratory diseases, meanwhile, summarize and analyze the predominant circulating types and newly discovered types of HAdVs in different regions of China.
