Table of Contents

Classification

This is a description of a vertebrate virus at the genus level with data limited to classification details. If you have primary data on this virus, please submit them to ICTVdB using the online data entry systems or contact the ICTVdB management.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.001.0.03. Virus accession number: 001003GE.
NCBI Taxon Identifier NCBI Taxonomy ID: 100953.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Virus is of the family 00.001. Adenoviridae.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid, fibers, a core, and associated protein(s). Virus capsid is not enveloped, round with icosahedral symmetry. The isometric capsid has a diameter of 80-100 nm. The capsid shells of virions are composed of a single layer. Capsids appear hexagonal in outline.

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

Virions have a buoyant density in CsCl of 1.3 g cm-3.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of linear double-stranded DNA. The genome has a guanine + cytosine content of 33.6-42.5 %.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins and non-structural proteins.

Non-Structural Proteins: The virus codes for an DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. In addition to the polymerase, the virus codes for enzymes such as replicase.

Transcription: Virus transcription is temporally regulated.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Virus infects during its life cycle a single type of vertebrate host.
Domain

Taxonomic Proposals and Changes

A taxonomic proposal has been submitted to the ICTV by the Vertebrate Virus Subcommittee, Study Group for Adenoviridae at the meeting in Washington, DC, April 2001 and Paris, July 2002, to create a new taxon. The proposal has been approved at the meeting of the Executive Committee in Paris, 2002, the taxon has been designated as Genus (in the Family Adenoviridae).

ICTVdB - The Universal Virus Database, developed for the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses by Dr Cornelia Büchen-Osmond is written in DELTA. The virus descriptions in ICTVdB are coded by, or using data from experts in the field of virology or members ICTV. The character list is the underlying code. All virus descriptions are based on the character list and natural language translations are automatically generated and formatted for display on the Web from the descriptions in DELTA-format.
