Adenoviruses are a frequent cause of acute upper respiratory tract infections in humans. Adenoviruses have a genome composed of double-stranded DNA; they are non-enveloped and their capsid contains a "fiber" protein that is analogous in function to the spike glycoproteins of HIV. Latency of the adenovirus can occur in lymphoid tissues. Based on this information, which of the following would be the best type of drug to develop to combat adenoviruses in humans?
A. a drug that inhibits reverse transcriptase B. a drug that binds to fiber protein receptors in human cells C. a drug that can switch off latency D. a combination of drugs that inhibit reverse transcriptase and that binds to fiber protein receptors in human cells E. a combination of drugs that inhibit reverse transcriptase, binds to fiber protein receptors in human cells, and switches off latency
