ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Iridoviridae [PDF]

Journal of General Virology, 2017
The Iridoviridae is a family of large, icosahedral viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes ranging in size from 103 to 220 kbp. Members of the subfamily Alphairidovirinae infect ectothermic vertebrates (bony fish, amphibians and reptiles), whereas ...

Pathology of an iridescent virus in immature Culex pipiens L. (Diptera, Culicidae) [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
Iridovirus in Culex pipiens was reported for the first time in 2012. Later studies of horizontal transmission were performed, in which an interaction with the parasite Strelkovimermis spiculatus acting as viral vector was recognized. In the present study,

A Novel Virus Causes Scale Drop Disease in Lates calcarifer. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
From 1992 onwards, outbreaks of a previously unknown illness have been reported in Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) kept in maricultures in Southeast Asia. The most striking symptom of this emerging disease is the loss of scales.
