Aviadenoviruses are serologically distinct from members of the other adenovirus genera and seem to only infect birds. Aviadenovirus genomes are generally longer than those of mastadenoviruses.
A summary of this ICTV Report chapter has been published as an ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile article in the Journal of General Virology, and should be cited when referencing this online chapter as follows:

Members of this genus infect Shewanella putrefaciens. The non-redundant part of the genomes of viruses in this genus is, on average, 54.56 kbp (50.0 %G+C), with 68 gene coding sequences; no tRNAs are encoded.
Members of the single species in this genus infect Aeromonas hydrophila. The first member of this genus to be isolated was Aeromonas phage pAh6-C. The non-redundant portion of its genome is 53.74 kbp (52.8 %G+C) with 86 gene coding sequences; no tRNAs are encoded.
