Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that can infect the membranes (tissue linings) of the respiratory tract, eyes, intestines, and urinary tract. They account for about 10% of acute respiratory infections in kids and are a frequent cause of diarrhea.

Adenoviral infections affect babies and young children much more often than adults. Childcare centers and schools sometimes have multiple cases of respiratory infections and diarrhea caused by adenovirus.

Adenoviral infections can occur at any time of the year, but:

1) respiratory tract problems caused by adenovirus are more common in late winter, spring, and early summer

2) conjunctivitis (pinkeye) and pharyngoconjunctival fever caused by adenovirus tend to affect older kids, mostly in the summer

Adenoviral infections can affect children of any age, but most occur in the first years of life — and most kids have had at least one before age 10. There are many different types of adenoviruses, so some kids can have repeated adenoviral infections.

The test uses new homogenous immunochromatographic system with gold particules. It is a ready to use test which only needs a faecal sample dilution with the supplied ready to use dilution buffer. Specificity is ensured by using a monoclonal antibody conjugated with gold particules and directed against specific human genus-specific Adenovirus antigens. The immunochromatographic test is coated with a monoclonal immunoreagent specific for genus-specific Adenovirus hexon antigens. Liquid sample and gold conjugate both migrate by capillarity and reach the first specific anti-Adenovirus monoclonal reagent. If Adenovirus is present in the sample, it is blocked and immunoreaction appears as a red-pink line. As sample still migrates, it reaches the second non specific anti-mouse IgG which gives rise to a second red-pink line. This rear line indicates that the chromatography has been developped without hindrance. It appears also with negative samples.
