| adenoviruses, human | Species of the genus mastadenovirus, causing a wide range of diseases in humans. Infections are mostly asymptomatic, but can be associated with diseases of the respiratory, ocular, and gastrointestinal systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus infections, human | Respiratory and conjunctival infections caused by 33 identified serotypes of human adenoviruses. (12 Dec 1998) |

| papilloma virus, human | A family of over 60 viruses responsible forcausing warts. The majority of the viruses produce warts on the hands, fingers, and even the face. most of these viruses are innocuous, causing nothing more than cosmetic concerns.
