This kit is used for in vitro qualitative detection of adenovirus nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swabs, throat swabs and stool samples.
Epidemiology
Human adenovirus (HAdV) belongs to the genus Mammalian adenovirus, which is a double-stranded DNA virus without envelope. Adenoviruses that have been found so far include 7 subgroups (A-G) and 67 types, of which 55 serotypes are pathogenic to humans. Among them, could leading to the respiratory tract infections are mainly group B (Types 3, 7, 11, 14, 16, 21, 50, 55), Group C (Types 1, 2, 5, 6, 57) and Group E (Type 4), and could leading to intestinal diarrhea infection is Group F (Types 40 and 41).
Respiratory diseases caused by respiratory tract infections of human body account for 5%~15% of global respiratory diseases, and 5%~7% of global childhood respiratory diseases, which could also infect the gastrointestinal tract, urethra, bladder, eyes, and liver, etc. Adenovirus is endemic in a wide range of areas and can be infected all year round, especially in crowded areas, which are prone to local outbreaks, mainly in schools and military camps.
