Adenovirus type 5 is a virus species in the group of Adenoviridae, a large family of viruses that cause various diseases, generally upper respiratory tract infections. Adenoviruses are medium-sized (90-100 nm) non-enveloped viruses consisting of a double-stranded DNA genome.
Adenovirus type 5 has the ability to infect a wide range of different cell types and has the capacity to host large genes in their genomes incorporated through homologous recombination techniques and is widely used for gene transfer experiments. This virus causes endemic infection in humans, and infection by adenovirus is usually seen in children. The main diseases caused by the adenovirus type 5 virus are gastroenteritis, eye diseases and respiratory diseases. Gastroenteritis is an intestinal infection that causes vomiting and diarrhea and is most common in infants and children. Since microorganisms multiply rapidly in hot weather, this disease is most common in hot weather.
Adenovirus strains are resistant to disinfectants such as alcohol and chlorhexidine. Therefore, it is recommended that those working in hospitals and health institutions use disposable gloves. Adenovirus transmission usually occurs in crowded environments and public transport.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests performed in this context, there are adenovirus type 5 testing services in virucidal activity tests.
