title: A proposal for a new (third) genus within the family Adenoviridae.
abstract: This article presents a proposal for the establishment of a new adenovirus genus to accommodate certain bovine, ovine, and avian adenoviruses with special characteristics which differentiate them from members of the existing genera Mastadenovirus and Aviadenovirus. This proposal has been developed from earlier versions with advice from the Adenovirus Study Group of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
