Avian adenoviruses.
Adenovirus infections are ubiquitous in commercially farmed birds, and probably in all avian species. There is a wide range of virulence, in some cases even within the same serotype. While many infections are subclinical and appear to be of little economic or welfare importance, significant outbreaks of disease associated with adenovirus do occur. These diseases are not of public health significance.
