Bohle Iridovirus as a Vector for Heterologous Gene Expression
Journal of Virological Methods, 2007The large double-stranded DNA (ds DNA) viruses were among the first to be used to construct recombinant viruses, but to date this has not been achieved with any members of the ds DNA virus family, Iridoviridae. We identified a non-essential gene, the viral homologue of eukaryotic initiation factor 2alpha (eIF-2alpha), in Bohle iridovirus (BIV, genus ...

A Decade of Advances in Iridovirus Research
2005Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the advances in iridovirus research over the past decade. It summarizes salient features of the iridovirus research studies, and discusses their importance to future work. As knowledge of iridovirus biology increases, so does the understanding of the taxonomic structure of the family.

Crustaceana, 2012
We conducted a comprehensive review of blue isopods in Japan by collecting isopod species from eight sites located on three Japanese islands (Honshu, Kyushu and Okinawajima). We also interviewed Japanese soil-fauna researchers and retrieved data from the Internet detailing isopod collections in Japan. From analysis of the complete data set, we conclude

An Unusual Replication Strategy of an Animal Iridovirus
1985Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the unusual structure of the Frog virus 3 (FV3) genome and its unique replication strategy. An unusual attribute of FV3 DNA is its high degree of methylation. It is found that over 20% of the deoxycytosine residues—apparently every deoxycytosine in the sequence CpG—has been methylated at the 5 carbon position.

Induction of apoptosis by iridovirus virion protein extract
Archives of Virology, 2007Chilo iridescent virus (CIV; IIV-6) is the type member of the genus Iridovirus (family Iridoviridae, large icosahedral cytoplasmic DNA viruses). CIV induces death and deformity in the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, replicates productively in larvae of the cotton boll weevil, and significantly reduces laboratory populations of the cotton aphid,

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to a grouper iridovirus
Journal of Virological Methods, 2003A panel of six monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against a grouper iridovirus (SGIV) were produced by immunization of Balb/c mice with purified virus preparations. Isotyping test revealed all the mAbs were IgG1. None of the mAbs possessed the ability to neutralize SGIV in cell cultures.

Iridovirus-Like Viruses in Erythrocytes of Lacertids from Portugal
Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2013AbstractIcosahedral nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV)-like viruses, which form inclusions in the erythrocyte cytoplasm of reptiles, were previously presented as candidates for a new genus of theIridoviridaefamily. The present work describes the distribution of infected lizard hosts and ultrastructural characteristics of the viral inclusions ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, 2016
AbstractThe genus Megalocytivirus is known to infect a wide range of cultured marine fish. In this study, we examined the pathogenicity of FLIV (Megalocytivirus from olive flounder, genotype III) and RBIV (Megalocytivirus from rock bream, genotype I) to their homologous and heterologous host species.

Iridovirus infection in terrestrial isopods from Sicily (Italy)
Tissue and Cell, 2013During our researches on systematics and ecology of terrestrial isopods, carried out in western Sicily, some specimens showing a blue-purple coloration were collected; they belonged to four species: Armadillidium decorum Brandt, 1833, Trichoniscus panormidensis Montesanto et al., 2011, Philoscia affinis Verhoeff, 1908, Porcellio siculoccidentalis ...

Characterization of iridovirus IV1 polypeptides: mapping by surface labelling
Research in Virology, 1997A comprehensive index of IV1(Tipula iridescent virus, or TIV)-associated polypeptides has been established using enrichments of "empty" and "filled" virions that are considered to be maturation-phase-related. The mapping strategy which involved one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, silver staining, disulphide bond reduction and ...
