Inhibition of Simian Virus 40 DNA Synthesis by Frog Virus 3

Journal of General Virology, 1974
Summary The replication of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA is arrested by superinfection with frog virus 3 (FV3). Most of the SV40 DNA molecules synthesized before infection by FV3 become nicked or fragmented. These events take place at 37 °C, a restrictive temperature for FV3 growth.

Amphibian (Xenopus laevis) Tadpoles and Adult Frogs Differ in Their Use of Expanded Repertoires of Type I and Type III Interferon Cytokines

Viruses, 2018
While amphibians around the globe are facing catastrophic declines, in part because of infections with pathogens such as the Frog Virus 3 (FV3) ranavirus; the mechanisms governing amphibian susceptibility and resistance to such pathogens remain poorly ...

Lack of molecular detection of frog virus 3-like ranavirus (FV3) in mosquitoes during natural outbreak and nonoutbreak conditions

FACETS, 2020
Ranaviruses are worldwide pathogens of ectothermic vertebrates that can threaten herptile conservation efforts. Identifying transmission routes is critical for understanding disease ecology and promoting species conservation.

Mapping of the gene coding for the major late structural polypeptide on the frog virus 3 genome.

, 1986
The gene encoding the major capsid polypeptide (MCP 48) of frog virus 3 (FV 3) has been mapped on the viral DNA. Late FV 3 messenger RNA, hybrid-selected by the SalI-F fragment or a subset of these sequences, BamHI-L and -W fragments, directed the ...

Transmission of ranavirus between ectothermic vertebrate hosts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Transmission is an essential process that contributes to the survival of pathogens. Ranaviruses are known to infect different classes of lower vertebrates including amphibians, fishes and reptiles.

The Genomic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationship in the Family Iridoviridae

Viruses, 2010
The Iridoviridae family are large viruses (~120-200 nm) that contain a linear double-stranded DNA genome. The genomic size of Iridoviridae family members range from 105,903 bases encoding 97 open reading frames (ORFs) for frog virus 3 to 212,482 bases ...

Sublethal effects of wild-type and a vIF-2α-knockout Frog virus 3 on postmetamorphic wood frogs (Rana sylvatica): potential for a stage-specific reservoir

FACETS, 2020
Ranaviruses have been associated with rising numbers of mass die-offs in amphibian populations around the globe. However, most studies on ranaviruses to date focused on larval amphibians.

Engineering iridoviruses: development of reverse genetics and virus rescue systems

Journal of Virology
Iridoviruses are a family of large DNA viruses that infect insects and poikilotherm vertebrates, including amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Notably, members of the genus Ranavirus cause mass mortality in fish and amphibians, threatening aquaculture and ...

Complete sequence determination of a novel reptile iridovirus isolated from soft-shelled turtle and evolutionary analysis of Iridoviridae

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Soft-shelled turtle iridovirus (STIV) is the causative agent of severe systemic diseases in cultured soft-shelled turtles (Trionyx sinensis).

Screening of a long-term sample set reveals two Ranavirus lineages in British herpetofauna.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Reports of severe disease outbreaks in amphibian communities in mainland Europe due to strains of the common midwife toad virus (CMTV)-like clade of Ranavirus are increasing and have created concern due to their considerable population impacts.
