a red squirrel associated adenovirus identified by a combined microarray and deep sequencing approach.	in 2013, an adult red squirrel (sciurus vulgaris) was found dead showing, during necropsy, acute diffuse catarrhal enteritis. using a virus screening pipeline based on a pan-viral dna microarray with downstream next-generation sequencing a novel squirrel-associated virus was identified with mastadenovirus-typical sequence elements. phylogenetic analysis of hexon protein amino acid sequences demonstrated the highest similarity to equine adenovirus (adv) 2, but a strong divergence to a squirrel ad ...	2017	28685288
widespread occurrence of squirrel adenovirus 1 in red and grey squirrels in scotland detected by a novel real-time pcr assay.	the eurasian red squirrel (sciurus vulgaris) is distributed throughout large parts of europe and asia. however, its distribution in certain regions of europe is endangered by the invasive, non-native grey squirrel (sciurus carolinensis). adenoviruses were already described in squirrels in great britain almost two decades ago. in 2013, a squirrel adenovirus (sqadv-1) was additionally found in a red squirrel from germany, which suffered from acute diffuse catarrhal enteritis, and the complete geno ...	2018	30237072
