The onset is usually sudden, and there is often rhinitis. [2] Adenovirus infection can also cause adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. [2] Typically one eye is affected after an incubation period of up to a week. [2] The eye becomes itchy, painful, burning and reddish and lymphadenopathy may be felt by the ear nearest the affected eye. [2]
The structure of adenovirus. 1 = penton capsomers, 2 = hexon capsomers, and 3= viral genome (linear dsDNA) Adenoviruses are medium-sized (90–100 nm). [ 2 ] The virions are composed of one linear piece of double-stranded DNA inside an icosahedral capsid . 240 hexon proteins make up the bulk of the capsid, while twelve penton bases cap the ...
Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis, also known as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, is a contagious eye infection, a type of adenovirus disease caused by adenoviruses. [1] It typically presents as a conjunctivitis with a sudden onset of a painful red eye, watery discharge and feeling that something is in the eye. [ 3 ]

Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral fiber glycoproteins to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis.
The virus was first called Adenovirus 127 after this strain, before being named Duck adenovirus A. [4] [5] This strain was the first strain of the virus to get a full genome sequence in the GenBank database. [6] The virus was renamed Duck atadenovirus A in 2013. [citation needed]
The VA (viral associated) RNA is a type of non-coding RNA found in adenovirus. [1] [2] It plays a role in regulating translation. [3] There are two copies of this RNA called VAI or VA RNAI and VAII or VA RNAII. These two VA RNA genes are distinct genes in the adenovirus genome. VA RNAI is the major species with VA RNAII expressed at a lower level.
The vector is a chimpanzee adenovirus modified to avoid its replication. [1] Adenoviruses are effective vectors for inducing and boosting cellular immunity to encoded recombinant antigens. However, the widespread seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies to common human adenovirus serotypes limits their use. Simian adenoviruses do not suffer ...
