Mastadenovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Adenoviridae. Humans and other mammals serve as natural hosts. There are 63 species in this genus.[1] The genus as a whole includes many very common causes of human infection, estimated to be responsible for 2 to 5% of all respiratory infections, as well as gastrointestinal and eye infections. Symptoms are usually mild.

Canine adenovirus 1 (CAdV-1) can lead to death in puppies, or encephalitis in other carnivore species.[2][3]
