However, our recent survey of flu-like disease in children in Hong Kong reveals that the emergent HAdV-E4 pathogens circulating in civilian populations contain NF-I, indicating recombination and reflecting host-adaptation that enables the "new" HAdV-E4 to replicate more efficiently in human cells and foretells more potential HAdV-E4 outbreaks in immune-naïve civilian populations. Recent isolates are recombinants containing this HAdV replication motif [1] , presumably permitting an expansion of the virus range into the immune-naïve populations [5] [6] [7] [21] [22] [23] , and should be noted as a molecular evolution example of a post-zoonotic, host-adaptation of a "novel" and "emergent" human pathogen. ./cache/cord-003516-l1lq8yga.txt ./txt/cord-003516-l1lq8yga.txt
