Any of a group of viruses including those that in humans cause upper respiratory infections or infectious pinkeye

Usage examples of adenovirus.

If they held the patent on the proper adenovirus, it could be worth billions of dollars.

Whoever it was resorted to viral transfer, using adenovirus to transfer, splice, and mix human with chimpanzee DNA whole sequences at a time, a much faster process but haphazard.

So Cap had a theory to explain the strange sequences the Judy Lab had revealed: chimpanzee, human, and hybrid all in the same animal, laced with sequences from the adenovirus that did most of the splicing.

After all, the use of pathogens such as adenovirus and HIV as recombinant vectors was ancient history.
