There are several subgroups for Adenoviruses ranging from A to F. The F group only contains the adenoviruses types 40 and 41 responsible for diarrhoea.
So for a specific identification of enteric problems, it would be better to identify those 40/41 viruses.
The use of the Adeno-Strip or 40/41 Adeno-Strip depends on the routine practices relative to the physician. Some countries prefer to test all groups (using Adeno-Strip) while others are more oriented to testing the F group (using 40/41 Adeno-Strip).
The best way is to check the samples with Combi-Strip which can detect both Rota & Adenovirus group.
If sample is ADENO positive, we suggest to confirm the result with 40/41 Adeno-Strip.
