The discovery of adenoviruses naturally induced a new interest in
viruses of the human upper respiratory tract since previously
unknown viruses infecting this portion of the human body had not
been identified in 20 years, and their unique characteristics
stimulated investigations into the biochemical events essential for
replication of animal viruses. Indeed, the field of molecular
virology has evolved during the period since their dis covery, and
adenoviruses have played a major role in this development. The
exciting discoveries made with adenoviruses have had such a pro
found effect on knowledge in basic virology, molecular biology,
viral ge netics, human and animal infections, and cell
transformation that this seemed a propitious time to have some of
the major contributors review this field. This volume pays tribute
to the late Wallace Rowe, Robert Huebner, and Maurice Hilleman
whose initial discoveries of adenoviruses have tremendously
enriched virology. Harold S. Ginsberg vii Contents Chapter 1 An
