**14. Conclusions**

The study of human and animal adenoviruses allows not only to explore the molecular relationship with the host organism but also to solve specific problems of medicine. In the practical field, on the one hand, new antiviral vaccines and chemotherapy drugs have been developed, implemented, or are awaiting introduction; on the other hand, there is a perspective on the therapeutic use of viruses, such as oncolytic viruses or viral vectors. These and other problems associated with adenoviruses and adenoviral infections will be covered in more detail in subsequent chapters of this book.
