Relating to or caused by an adenovirus, a type of virus that infects the respiratory tract, eyes, and digestive system.
From 'adeno-' (gland) + 'viral' (relating to viruses), named because these viruses were first discovered in adenoid tissue samples during the 1950s.
Adenoviruses are so common that most people have had an adenoviral infection without knowing it's specifically an adenovirus—many colds, pink eye cases, and respiratory infections are caused by these hardy viruses that can survive on surfaces for weeks.
