An iridovirus, Apis iridescent virus (AIV), isolated from sick adult specimens of Apis cerana (Hymenoptera) from Kashmir, closely resembles iridescent viruses from Tipula and Sericesthis spp. (TIV and SIV). However, AIV is only distantly related serologically to TIV and SIV and is even more remotely related to several other similar viruses that were ...

The Function of TER94 of Spodoptera frugiperda 9 Cells When Infected With Invertebrate Iridescent Virus-6. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The 118 L protein in the envelope of the Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) is responsible for binding to receptors on the surface of permissive cells. We previously elucidated its function by silencing its gene and neutralizing the protein with antibodies.

Genomic and morphological characterization of a novel iridovirus, bivalve iridovirus 1 (BiIV1), infecting the common cockle (<i>Cerastoderma edule</i>). [PDF]
High rates of mortality of the common cockle, Cerastoderma edule, have occurred in the Wash Estuary, UK, since 2008. A previous study linked the mortalities to a novel genotype of Marteilia cocosarum, with a strong correlation between cockle moribundity and the presence of M. cocosarum.

A Novel Iridovirus Discovered in Deep-Sea Carnivorous Sponges
Carnivorous sponges (family Cladorhizidae) use small invertebrates as their main source of nutrients. We discovered a novel iridovirus (carnivorous sponge-associated iridovirus, CaSpA-IV) in Chondrocladia grandis and Cladorhiza oxeata specimens collected

The effect of using an inappropriate protein database for proteomic data analysis. [PDF]
A recent study by Bromenshenk et al., published in PLoS One (2010), used proteomic analysis to identify peptides purportedly of Iridovirus and Nosema origin; however the validity of this finding is controversial.

Despite decades of focus on crickets (family: Gryllidae) as a popular commodity and model organism, we still know very little about their immune responses to microbial pathogens.

Cloning and Sequence Analysis of Capsid Protein Gene of Iridovirus Indonesian Isolates
Iridovirus was known as agents that caused serious systemic disease in freshwater and marine fishes. The mortality up to 100% of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) due to iridovirus infection has been reported in Indonesia.

Iridovirus in the root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus [PDF]
Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) was evaluated for mode of transmission and ability to cause infection in the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.). This is the first evidence of IIV6 infection in D. abbreviatus, which caused both patent and sub-lethal covert infections in both larvae and adults.
