Epidemiology and Genetic Variabilities of Human Adenovirus Type 55 Reveal Relative Genome Stability Across Time and Geographic Space in China

After the first outbreak in China in 2006, human adenovirus type 55 (HAdV-B55) has become a common pathogen causing life threatening pneumonia in northern China. However, HAdV-B55 infection has been rarely reported in southern China. Here, we collected throat swabs from 3,192 hospitalized children w...
