Abstract

Human adenovirus 7d is a respiratory pathogen capable of causing acute respiratory disease of variable severity. Phylogenetic analysis of whole-genome sequences of 15 strains isolated from cases of influenza-like-illness during 2017-2019 demonstrated the circulation of 2 distinct clades of genomic variant 7d in colleges in New York, USA.

Keywords: Human adenovirus 7; New York; United States; colleges; genetic diversity; influenza-like illness; phylogenetic analysis; viruses; whole-genome sequence.

Maximum-likelihood tree showing the phylogenetic relationships of human adenovirus genome type 7d isolates from New York, USA (bold), and reference sequences obtained from GenBank. Accession numbers for reference strains are provided next to the strain designation, country, and year of isolation. Strain USA IL/NHRC1315/1997 of genomic variant 7d2 was included in the analysis as a representative of genome types circulating in the United States before 2013. Nodes with bootstrap values >70 are displayed. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
