Serologic classification of two ovine adenovirus isolates from the central United States.
Two ovine adenovirus (OAV) strains (RTS-42 and RTS-151), isolated from lambs in the central United States, were compared using 2-way cross-neutralization tests with the 6 recognized OAV species, 9 bovine adenovirus species, and 4 porcine species. Virus RTS-42 was identified as OAV type 5, confirming previous results. Virus RTS-151 was identified as OAV type 6, although the serologic crossing was largely one-sided.
