Experimental evidence for behavioural cooling as a response to virus infection in an ectothermic vertebrate [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Behavioural plasticity may contribute to the ability of wild animals to survive disease outbreaks. In absence of endogen heat control, ectothermic animals adjust their body temperature behaviourally.

Frog Virus 3 Infection, Cultured American Bullfrogs
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Ranaculture, the practice of farm-raising frogs for scientific and culinary purposes, is practiced in many countries, including the United States (1). As with aquaculture, most ranaculture challenges relate to husbandry and disease. In aquaculture, iridovirus infections are reportable and can result in large-scale fish deaths (2,3).

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,

Ranavirus ecology in common frogs (Rana Temporaria) from United Kingdom: transmission dynamics, alternate hosts and host-strain interactions. [PDF]
, 2009 PhDThe ranaviruses (Family: Iridoviridae) are a group of emerging pathogens in amphibians. Ranavirus(es) were introduced to the UK in the late 1980s and have been associated with mass mortality events in common frogs (Rana temporaria) in south east ...

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.

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 ...

Macromolecular synthesis in cells infected by frog virus 3. VI. Frog virus 3 replication is dependent on the cell nucleus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1977 Previous evidence indicated that frog virus 3 (FV3), an icosahedral DNA virus, replicates exclusively in the cytoplasm. However, data presented here demonstrate that FV3 does not replicate in UV-irradiated or enuleated chicken embryo or BSC-1 cells and that virus-specific DNA synthesis is not initiated in such cells.
