Abstrakt: Wild birds are threatened by anthropic effects on a global scale, and their adenoviruses might contribute to their endangerment. Thus, it is important to reveal the real biodiversity of avian adenoviruses, as, unfortunately, this research topic is far from being prioritized. The turkey hemorrhagic enteritis is an economically important disease causing high mortalities, and its causative siadenoviral agent is only distantly related to other avian siadenoviruses in phylogenetic analyses. Both to enhance our knowledge about the biodiversity of wild bird adenoviruses and to possibly trace back the origin of the turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus, numerous Hungarian wild bird samples were screened for adenoviruses using PCR, and the detected strains were typed molecularly. The screening revealed numerous new adenovirus types, several of which represent novel adenovirus species as well, in the genera Atadenovirus, Aviadenovirus and Siadenovirus.
