title: Chimpanzee adenoviruses are related to four subgenera of human adenoviruses.
abstract: Nine adenovirus strains isolated from chimpanzees were studied with regard to their relatedness to each other and to human adenovirus prototypes by neutralization and hemagglutination inhibition. The strains belonged to six serotypes, and all of them were clearly related to, but not identical to human adenoviruses of subgenus A, B, C, or E respectively. DNA restriction analysis corroborated these relationships.
