Abstract excerpt
The knowledge of the closest human relatives of human adenoviruses (AdVs) such as adenoviruses found in nonhuman primates is still limited, despite the growing importance of adenoviruses in vaccine development, gene and cancer therapy. We examined 153 stool samples of 17 non-human primate species and detected adenoviral DNA sequences of DNA polymerase (DPOL) gene in 54 samples (35%), originating from 12 out of 17...
