The emergence and dominance of the Ad7d2 genome type in Iowa by 2002 highlights a public health concern due to its association with severe illness and death.
We evaluated 76 adenovirus type 7 (Ad7) isolates collected in Iowa from 1992 to 2002 and found that genome type Ad7d2 became increasingly prevalent. By 2002, it had supplanted all other Ad7 genome types. The association of Ad7d2 with severe illness and death calls for heightened public health concern.
