Natural invertebrate hosts of iridoviruses (Iridoviridae) [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2008 Invertebrate iridescent viruses (IIVs) are icosahedral DNA viruses that infect invertebrates, mainly insects and terrestrial isopods, in damp and aquatic habitats. Exhaustive searches of databases resulted in the identification of 79 articles reporting 108 invertebrate species naturally infected by confirmed or putative iridoviruses. Of these, 103 (95%)

Geographically variable selection inAmbystoma tigrinumvirus (Iridoviridae) throughout the western USA [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2008 AbstractWe investigated spatially variable selection inAmbystoma tigrinumvirus (ATV) which causes frequent and geographically widespread epizootics of the tiger salamander,Ambystoma tigrinum. To test for evidence of selection, we sequenced several coding and noncoding regions from virus strains isolated from epizootics throughout western North America.

High-Throughput Sequencings Revealed That Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis is Implicated in Gouty Arthritis of Red-Crowned Crane (<i>Grus japonensis</i>). [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisThe red‐crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is one of the rarest cranes with a global population of less than 4000 individuals. The population of red‐crowned crane could be influenced by health threats, including metabolic and infectious diseases. In the Wildlife Rescue Center of Suining County of Jiangsu Province, gouty arthritis (GA) was observed in all ...

Systemic iridovirus from threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus represents a new megalocytivirus species (family Iridoviridae) [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012 Megalocytiviruses have been associated with epizootics resulting in significant economic losses in public aquaria and food-fish and ornamental fish industries, as well as threatening wild fish stocks. The present report describes characteristics of the first megalocytivirus from a wild temperate North American fish, the threespine stickleback ...
