Comparative genomic analysis of the family
Virology Journal, 2007 Background Members of the family Iridoviridae can cause severe diseases resulting in significant economic and environmental losses. Very little is known about how iridoviruses cause disease in their host. In the present study, we describe the re-analysis

Expression of frog virus 3 genes is impaired in mammalian cell lines [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2008 Frog virus 3 (FV3) is a large DNA virus that is the prototypic member of the family Iridoviridae. To examine levels of FV3 gene expression we generated a polyclonal antibody against the FV3 protein 75L.
