A male kowari (Dasyuroides byrnei) originating from a zoo facility was delivered for post mortem evaluation in Hungary. Acute lobar pneumonia with histopathologic changes resembling an adenovirus (AdV) infection was detected by light microscopic examination. The presence of an AdV was confirmed by obtaining partial sequence data from the adenoviral DNA-dependent DNA-polymerase. Although the exact taxonomic position of this novel marsupial origin virus could not be determined, pairwise identity analyses and phylogenetic calculations revealed that it is distantly related to other members in the family Adenoviridae.

在患有肺炎的科瓦里（Dasyuroides byrnei）中发现了新型腺病毒。

源自动物园的雄性科瓦里（Dasyuroides byrnei）已交付匈牙利进行尸检评估。通过光学显微镜检查发现具有类似于腺病毒（AdV）感染的组织病理学改变的急性大叶性肺炎。通过从腺病毒依赖DNA的DNA聚合酶获得部分序列数据来确认AdV的存在。尽管无法确定这种新型有袋动物起源病毒的确切分类学位置，但是成对的身份分析和系统发育计算表明，它与腺病毒科的其他成员关系密切。
