Species designation depends on several of the following characteristics:
The lack of cross neutralization combined with a calculated phylogenetic distance of more than 10%% separates two serotypes into different species. If the phylogenetic distance is less than 5%, any additional common grouping criteria from the above may classify separate serotypes into the same species even if they had been isolated from different hosts. For example, numerous properties of Bovine adenovirus 2 (BAdV-2), including results of the distance matrix analysis on protease and hexon as sequences, RFLP analysis, GC content of the genome, DNA hybridization, ability to infect sheep, all implied its close relationship with Ovine adenovirus 2, 3, 4, and 5, and were therefore placed in a common species. Similarly, BAdV-9 proved to be almost indistinguishable from HAdV-2 and 5 based on partial sequencing, DNA hybridization, and restriction enzyme fragment profile. BAdV-1, 3, and 10, however, show considerable evolutionary distance from BAdV-2, 9, and from each other (more than 10%). In addition, they share only limited sequence homology detectable by DNA hybridization, possess very differently organized E3 region, and consequently they should be seen as separate species. The most numerous serotypes from the same host, the human adenoviruses, can be clearly separated into 6 species along the old subgenus lines supported by distance matrix analysis. HAdV-1, 2, 5, 6 may recombine with each other; HAdV-40 and 41 show similar restricted growth characteristics; the members of former subgenus A (HAdV-12, HAdV-18 and HAdV-31) share high oncogenicity in rodents and low G+C percentage in their genome. Adenoviruses isolated from chimpanzee resemble certain HAdVs in such extent that they are classified into "Human" adenovirus species. Simian adenovirus 22 to 25 (SAdV-22-25) belong to the species Human adenovirus E, while SAdV-21 belongs to Human adenovirus B

The fibers of many adenovirus types use the same cellular receptor (CAR) for attachment as coxsackie B viruses. Adenovirus fibers were reported to show structural similarity with reovirus attachment protein sigmal binding the JAM (junction adhesion molecule) receptor. Adenovirus may occur together with dependent parvovirus, for which it may provide helper functions. A dsDNA bacteriophage, PRD1 (member of the family Tectiviridae) was shown to share similar virion architecture (icosahedral capsid with fiberlike projections) with adenoviruses. The 15 kbp genome of PRD1 has ITRs, and contains the genes encoding two important proteins (terminal protein and DNA polymerase) in the same order as in adenoviruses. The terminal protein also acts as primer in the phage DNA replication. A study on the resolution of the main capsid proteins (P3 of PRD1 and hexon of HAdV-2) revealed a very similar arrangement and structure and suggested an evolutionary link between the two viruses. Fungi and plants have a linear plasmid (killer plasmid in yeast) either in the cytoplasm or within the mitochondria that shares similar features (ITR, a terminal protein gene adjacent to a DNA polymerase gene) with adenoviruses. Homology was demonstrated between certain proteins of the E3 region of HAdVs and the RL11 gene family of Human cytomegalovirus. The primary structure of the p32K protein, characteristic for atadenoviruses, was shown to have similarity with bacterial small acid soluble proteins (SASPs) commonly found in different spore-forming bacteria.
