Respiratory Illness Caused by Adenovirus
While adenoviruses are very likely circulating in Virginia, no cases of infection with this variant of Ad14 are known to have occurred. Syndromic surveillance in Virginia is unlikely to be able to distinguish between infection with Adenovirus and other respiratory viruses like influenza. Although sporadic cases of known- or suspected-Adenovirus infection are not reportable in Virginia, local health departments actively investigate clusters or outbreaks of illness, as well as unusual occurrences of illness. Ongoing laboratory surveillance for influenza at the state laboratory can detect Adenovirus Infections, including Ad14, although identifying this particular strain requires testing at the CDC. As a result, healthcare professionals who identify a patient with a severe, atypical pneumonia that may be due to Ad14 infection should contact the local health department for additional guidance on testing. Local health departments should also be notified of clusters or outbreaks of any illness that may be of public health importance, as required under general requirements to report [§32.1-36 of the Code of Virginia and 12 VAC 5-90-80 of the Board of Health Regulations for Disease Reporting and Control ( www.vdh virginia.gov/ epidemiology/ regulations.htm )].

Epidemiologic features: Although epidemiologic characteristics of the adenoviruses vary by type, all are transmitted by direct contact, fecal-oral transmission, and occasionally waterborne transmission. Some types are capable of establishing persistent asymptomatic Infections in tonsils, adenoids, and intestines of infected hosts, and shedding can occur for months or years. Some adenoviruses (e.g., serotypes 1, 2, 5, and 6) have been shown to be endemic in parts of the world where they have been studied, and infection is usually acquired during childhood. Other types cause sporadic infection and occasional outbreaks; for example, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis is associated with Adenovirus serotypes 8, 19, and 37. Epidemics of febrile disease with conjunctivitis are associated with waterborne transmission of some Adenovirus types, often centering around inadequately chlorinated swimming pools and small lakes. ARD is most often associated with Adenovirus types 4 and 7 in the United States. Enteric adenoviruses 40 and 41 cause gastroenteritis, usually in children. For some Adenovirus serotypes, the clinical spectrum of disease associated with infection varies depending on the site of infection; for example, infection with Adenovirus 7 acquired by inhalation is associated with severe lower respiratory tract disease, whereas oral transmission of the virus typically causes no or mild disease. Outbreaks of Adenovirus-associated respiratory disease have been more common in the late winter, spring, and early summer; however, Adenovirus Infections can occur throughout the year.

Commercial, Technical and Competitive Merit: The identification of the human gene encoding the Adenovirus receptor molecule has lead to the possibility that such an entity could be useful in the design of new diagnostic tests for Adenovirus infection as well as a means for developing new therapeutic approaches for managing and preventing Adenovirus Infections. In addition, recent years have witnessed an increased interest in making use of Adenovirus as the delivery vehicle for therapeutic genes. This invention discloses gene constructs, proteins and fusion proteins that are useful for all of the mentioned technologies. A very novel approach to engineering viral tropism is made possible through this technology. In addition, it may be possible to make use of a re-directed Adenovirus for delivery of therapeutic molecules such as radioisotopes for the treatment and/ or imaging of tumors.

None of the patients developed subsequent Adenovirus Infections, adds Brenner. This is the first time we ve described a cell culture that can protect against adenoviruses, which is a major problem in immunocompromised patients, he adds.
