Preventive measures are crucial in controlling the spread of adenoviruses. These include:
Practicing good hand hygiene. Disinfecting surfaces and objects that are frequently touched. Avoiding close contact with individuals who are infected. Ensuring proper sewage disposal and water treatment. Implementing infection control measures in healthcare and institutional settings.
Vaccines are available for certain types of adenoviruses, particularly those that cause respiratory illnesses in military recruits. However, these vaccines are not widely available to the general public.
