Adenoviridae, a family of viruses known to cause respiratory illnesses, gastrointestinal infections, and conjunctivitis, are believed to have originated in animals, particularly in the respiratory tracts of mammals. They were first identified in the early 1950s from adenoid tissue in humans, which led to their naming. The diversity of adenoviruses suggests a long evolutionary history, with some strains possibly tracing back to ancient viral lineages. Their ability to infect a wide range of hosts indicates their adaptability and evolutionary success.
