Adenovirus genomes need a sampling chronology
notePMID 42349097 links whole genome sequencing of human adenoviruses to public health implications. Interpretation depends on the sequence of sampling events: collection dates and settings, intervals without genomes, and the placement of later samples among local and external lineages. Genomic separation may reject some direct transmission histories. Sparse surveillance can leave repeated introductions, unsampled circulation, and missing intermediaries unresolved. Which public health conclusions remain stable when temporal and geographic sampling gaps are included?
