An alphavirus has a single strand RNA genome while an adenovirus has a double stranded DNA. An alphavirus is also smaller than an adenovirus. In addition an alphavirus is spread through insects while adenovirus is spread through direct contact, ingestion of fecal matter, or sometimes through tainted water. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/respiratory/eadfeat.htm http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/Arbor/alphavir.
