Adenoviruses (AdV) are large naked viruses with characteristic fibres projecting from each vertex of their icosahedral capsids. Genome is double-stranded DNA. Adenoviruses tend to cause respiratory disease. A chimpanzee-derived adenovirus is used as a vector in the new Oxford vaccine against the coronavirus, (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine)
