Global Epidemiology of Human Adenoviruses, 2016–2024: A Pre‐ and Post‐COVID‐19 Analysis of Circulation Patterns and Epidemic Timing

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Human adenoviruses (HAdV) circulate globally, but their seasonal patterns remain poorly defined. We aimed to characterize the timing, amplitude, and duration of HAdV epidemics worldwide and to compare patterns before and after the COVID‐19 pandemic.
