Extensive outbreaks of adenovirus illness occurred in the winter and spring, and in some years in the late fall. The seasonal variation in total incidence of adenovirus infection as estimated by frequency of antibody rises in randomly selected recruits correlated well with that of adenovirus illness. In the cold season 20\u201360 of every 100 men were infected, whereas no or very little activity of adenovirus was found during the summer.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Type 7 was prevalent during the first 2 years of the study period, type 21 during the next 3 years and type 4 during the last 4 years. The proportion of adenovirus infection associated with clinical illness, the distribution of adenovirus illness by week of training and the immunity of incoming recruits against adenovirus infection as estimated by frequency of neutralizing antibody were compared for type 7, type 21 and type 4.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Adenovirus was responsible for about one third of all cases of acute respiratory illness. The next most common diagnostic category was influenza. Other respiratory agents (parainfluenza, RS and Coxsackie A-21 viruses,<jats:italic>Mycoplasma pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>and haemolytic streptococci) were of less importance.<\/jats:p><jats:p>This work was supported in part by the United States Department of the Army through its European Research Office.<\/jats:p><jats:p>We are indebted to the following persons who contributed to this study: C.
