Many adenovirus infections are subclinical, and virus may persist in the host for months. About one-third of the 57 known human serotypes are responsible for the most cases of human adenovirus disease. A few types serve as models for cancer induction in animals. Adenoviruses are valuable systems for molecular and biochemical studies of eukaryotic cell processes. They are also useful vectors for gene therapy approaches.
