Evidence for Multiple Recent Host Species Shifts among the Ranaviruses (FamilyIridoviridae) [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2010
ABSTRACTMembers of the genusRanavirus(familyIridoviridae) have been recognized as major viral pathogens of cold-blooded vertebrates. Ranaviruses have been associated with amphibians, fish, and reptiles. At this time, the relationships between ranavirus species are still unclear.

A Formalin‐Inactivated Vaccine Enhances Survival and Mitigates Horizontal Transmission of Red Sea Bream Iridovirus (RSIV) in Rock Bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus): Insights From Viability Quantitative PCR

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Formalin‐inactivated vaccines are widely employed as a primary preventive strategy against red sea bream iridoviral disease (RSIVD), which poses a substantial economic threat to the aquaculture of rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus). However, conventional quantitative PCR (qPCR) cannot differentiate infectious virions from noninfectious vaccine

Viral Pathogens Threatening Cage‐Cultured Nile Tilapia in Lake Victoria: Epidemiology, Emerging Risks and Integrated Health Management Strategies

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cage culture for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Lake Victoria is central to food security and profitable development in East Africa. Nevertheless, viral conditions affect the sustainability of this sector, with significant imbalances in livelihood, trade and aquaculture adaptability.

Fish health, environmental contaminants, and disease management in Ghanaian aquaculture: A systematic review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Fish health significantly influences aquaculture productivity, sustainability, food security, and public health. Despite Ghana's rapid aquaculture expansion, the sector remains constrained by widespread disease outbreaks and environmental threats. This systematic review synthesizes existing literature (2010–2024) to comprehensively assess fish

Risk of Spread of Megalocytivirus pagrus1 (Infectious Spleen and Kidney Necrosis Virus) From Frozen Fillets

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) is a significant threat to global aquatic food security by causing large‐scale mortality in the aquaculture of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi). ISKNV is a genogroup of Megalocytivirus pagrus1, along with RSIV and TRBIV, and their recent listing as WOAH ...
