Human adenoviruses belong to the genus Mastadenovirus and was isolated for the first time in 1953 from cultured adenoidal tissue. The symptoms of an infection vary between different types and range from respiratory disease to diarrhea or conjunctivitis. Adenoviruses are non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses.

Cercopithecine herpesvirus is in the Lymphocryptovirus genus of the Herpesviridae family. The first documented case was in 1932 when a researcher was bitten. Initial symptoms include nonspecific flu-like illness, vesicular herpetic lesions at the injury site, and symptoms associated with infection of the nervous systems. Cercopithecine herpesvirus are double-stranded DNA viruses.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus belongs to the genus Nairovirus of the Bunyaviridae family. The disease was first described in the Crimea in 1944. Symptoms include high fever, muscle pain, dizziness, abnormal sensitivity to light, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is a negative sense, single-stranded RNA virus.

Cowpox virus is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus within the family Poxviridae. The virus was first isolated in 1798 from dairymaids that touched the udders of infected cows. Most human cases of cowpox appear as one or more pus-like lesions on the hands and face, which then ulcerate and form a black scab. Cowpox virus are large, enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses.

Adeno-associated virus is a member of the parvovirus family and was discovered in 1965, as a contaminant of adenovirus preparations. Although 80-90% of adults are sero-positive, infection has not been associated with any symptoms or disease. Adeno-associated virus has a linear single-stranded DNA genome.
