Target organs for lymphocystis disease virus replication in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
The lymphocystis disease (LCD), the main viral pathology described in cultured gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), is a self-limiting condition characterized by the appearance of hypertrophied fibroblasts (named lymphocysts) in the connective tissue of ...

Molecular characterisation of grouper iridovirus isolates from Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
Grouper Iriovirus (GIV) is one of the most devastating viral diseases of marine and cultured groupers worldwide. In the current study, 5 presumptive Malaysian GIV isolates were characterised through PCR amplification of the major capsid protein (MCP ...

Bullfrogs (Aquarana catesbeiana) are an important aquaculture species worldwide. However, diseases have caused significant losses to the bullfrog industry. Given the crucial role of the intestinal microbiota (IM) in bullfrog growth, nutrition, immunity, and health, as well as the potential of probiotics and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) to regulate ...

Disease is among the suspected causes of amphibian population declines, and an iridovirus and a chytrid fungus are the primary pathogens associated with amphibian mortalities. Ambystoma tigrinum virus (ATV) and a closely related strain, Regina ranavirus (RRV), are implicated in salamander die-offs in Arizona and Canada, respectively.

The genome sequence of the emerging common midwife toad virus identifies an evolutionary intermediate within ranaviruses [PDF]
Worldwide amphibian population declines have been ascribed to global warming, increasing pollution levels, and other factors directly related to human activities. These factors may additionally be favoring the emergence of novel pathogens.

The 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 ...

Dinucleotide biases in the genomes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic dsDNA viruses and their hosts
Abstract The genomes of cellular organisms display CpG and TpA dinucleotide composition biases. Such biases have been poorly investigated in dsDNA viruses. Here, we show that in dsDNA virus, bacterial, and eukaryotic genomes, the representation of TpA and CpG dinucleotides is strongly dependent on genomic G + C content.

Family Iridoviridae Molecular and Ecological Studies of a Family Infecting Invertebrates and Ectothermic Vertebrates [PDF]
Ranaviruses and other viruses within the family Iridoviridae, infect a wide range of ecologically and commercially important ectothermic vertebrates, i.e., bony fish, amphibians, and reptiles, and invertebrates, including agricultural and medical pests and cultured shrimp and crayfish, and are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality ...

Nucleic acid amplification‐based methods for diagnosis of shrimp viral diseases
Abstract Viral diseases are one of the constraints affecting the sustainability of the shrimp farming industry worldwide. The common causes of viral infections include white spot syndrome virus, infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus, hepatopancreatic parvovirus, Penaeus monodon nudivirus, decapod iridescent virus 1, Taura syndrome ...
