Adenovirus type 14 enlarged.

Adenovirus is the name for the common cold virus.  A strain of this virus has killed 6 people in 2006 and 2007.  This is uncommon.  However, not a spreading or recurring issue currently.  This underscores the need to stay healty, eat right, practice coughing and sneezing in the bend of our arm instead of our hands, and good hand washing.  Waterless cleansers for hands and surfaces also kill this virus.  Updated 11-17-2007 Source Reuters.
