All year round, adenoviruses are responsible for many infectious diseases, including epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC). Transmission paths are hands and contaminated objects. Hence, it is imperative to adhere to hygiene measures. Direct human-to-human transmission via eye discharge is also possible.
To inactivate adenoviruses, best use a disinfectant with virucidal activity (pharmacy).
