Adenovirus classification for human and non-human Ad vectors referred to in this review. The nomenclature of Ad vectors derived from non-human primates, including chimpanzees, is not standardized, resulting in the confusing use of multiple names assigned by individuals who vectorized these constructs. In this review text, we propose to follow current standards for human Ad vectors, such as HAdV-C5, as outlined by ICTV, for descriptions of Ad vectors derived from chimpanzees or non-human primates. Abbreviated “alternative” names are used in Table 2 due to space constraints. H, human; Ch, chimpanzee; S, simian.
