The Molecular Biology of Frog Virus 3 and other Iridoviruses Infecting Cold-Blooded Vertebrates [PDF]
Viruses, 2011 Frog virus 3 (FV3) is the best characterized member of the family Iridoviridae. FV3 study has provided insights into the replication of other family members, and has served as a model of viral transcription, genome replication, and virus-mediated host ...

Is Xenopus laevis introduction linked with Ranavirus incursion, persistence and spread in Chile? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Ranaviruses have been associated with amphibian, fish and reptile mortality events worldwide and with amphibian population declines in parts of Europe. Xenopus laevis is a widespread invasive amphibian species in Chile.

Molecular Confirmation of Ranavirus Infection in Amphibians From Chad, Africa
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Ranaviruses are DNA viruses (Family Iridoviridae; Subfamily Alphairidovirinae) and ranaviral disease is considered an emerging infectious disease of ectothermic vertebrates. Ranavirus infection can have varying pathological effects on infected amphibians,

Investigation of amphibian mortality events in wildlife reveals an on-going ranavirus epidemic in the North of the Netherlands [PDF]
, 2016 In the four years following the first detection of ranavirus (genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae) infection in Dutch wildlife in 2010, amphibian mortality events were investigated nationwide to detect, characterize and map ranaviruses in amphibians ...

DNA methyltransferase induced by frog virus 3 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1984 Over 20% of the cytosine bases in frog virus 3 DNA are methylated at the 5-carbon position. To determine whether this high degree of methylation is the result of a virus-specific enzyme, we examined the kinetics of induction and the substrate specificity of a DNA methyltransferase from frog virus 3-infected fathead minnow cells.

Ranid Herpesvirus 3 Infection in Common Frog Rana temporaria Tadpoles
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Ranid herpesvirus 3 (RaHV3) is a recently discovered virus associated with skin disease in frogs. We detected RaHV3 DNA in free-ranging common frog (Rana temporaria) tadpoles, consistent with premetamorphic infection.

Phylogenomic characterization of ranaviruses isolated from cultured fish and amphibians in Thailand
FACETS, 2020 Ranaviruses are emerging pathogens associated with worldwide epizootics in farmed and wild ectothermic vertebrates. In this study, we determined the full genomes of eight ranaviruses isolated from marbled sleeper goby (Oxyeleotris marmorata), goldfish ...

Frog Virus 3 Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Journal of General Virology, 1974 Summary DNA extracted from frog virus 3 has a GC mol fraction of about 0.56. The mol. wt. of the DNA is about 100 × 106 (97 × 106 by neutral sucrose gradient sedimentation; 102 × 106 from renaturation kinetics). Analysis by neutral sucrose sedimentation indicated that the DNA exists as a single heteroduplex in the virus particle.
