Iridovirus-Like Viruses in Erythrocytes of Lacertids from Portugal

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2013
AbstractIcosahedral 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 ...

Iridovirus infection in terrestrial isopods from Sicily (Italy)

Tissue and Cell, 2013
During 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 ...

Low pathogenicity of flounder iridovirus (FLIV) and the absence of cross‐protection between FLIV and rock bream iridovirus

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.

Characterization of iridovirus IV1 polypeptides: mapping by surface labelling

Research in Virology, 1997
A 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 ...

Iridovirus infections in finfish – critical review with emphasis on ranaviruses

Journal of Fish Diseases, 2010
AbstractViruses in three genera of the family Iridoviridae (iridoviruses) affect finfish. Ranaviruses and megalocytiviruses are recently emerged pathogens. Both cause severe systemic disease, occur globally and affect a diversity of hosts. In contrast, lymphocystiviruses cause superficial lesions and rarely cause economic loss.

Antiviral role of grouper STING against iridovirus infection

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2015
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING, also known as MITA, ERIS, MPYS or TMEM173) has been identified as a central component in the innate immune response to cytosolic DNA and RNA derived from different pathogens. However, the detailed role of STING during fish iridovirus infection still remained largely unknown.

Antiviral function of Tachyplesin I against iridovirus and nodavirus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2016
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ubiquitously found in living organisms and are an important component in innate immune response. Tachyplesin I is a potent antimicrobial peptide isolated from the hemocytes of the horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus.

Covert iridovirus infection of blackfly larvae

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1993
Iridovirus infections are typically isolated at extremely low frequencies from invertebrate species in moist or aquatic habitats. Crystalline arrangements of virus particles in heavily infected tissues cause an iridescent hue obvious to the naked eye; diagnosis of iridovirus infection has traditionally occurred when the host appeared bright lilac or ...

Antiviral function of grouper MDA5 against iridovirus and nodavirus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2016
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) is a critical member of retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) family which can recognize viral RNA and enhances antiviral response in host cells. In this study, a MDA5 homolog from orange spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) (EcMDA5) was cloned, and its roles on grouper virus ...

Bionanosensor utilizing single-layer graphene for the detection of iridovirus

Journal of Molecular Modeling
Iridoviruses, a group of double-stranded DNA viruses, pose a significant threat to various aquatic animals, causing substantial economic losses in aquaculture and impacting ecosystem health. Early and accurate detection of these viruses is crucial for effective disease management and control.
