Characterization of a ranavirus inhibitor of the antiviral protein kinase PKR [PDF]
Background Ranaviruses (family Iridoviridae) are important pathogens of lower vertebrates. However, little is known about how they circumvent the immune response of their hosts.

Structure of grouper iridovirus purine nucleoside phosphorylase [PDF]
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of purine ribonucleosides to the corresponding free bases and ribose 1-phosphate. The crystal structure of grouper iridovirus PNP (givPNP), corresponding to the first PNP gene to be found in a virus, was determined at 2.4 Å resolution.

Rana grylio virus 43R encodes an envelope protein involved in virus entry [PDF]
Rana grylio virus (RGV), a member of genus Ranavirus in the family Iridoviridae, is a viral pathogen infecting aquatic animal. RGV 43R has homologues only in Ranavirus and contains a transmembrane (TM) domain, but its role in RGV infection is unknown. In

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Iridoviridae [PDF]
The Iridoviridae is a family of large, icosahedral viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes ranging in size from 103 to 220 kbp. Members of the subfamily Alphairidovirinae infect ectothermic vertebrates (bony fish, amphibians and reptiles), whereas ...

LAMP for the rapid diagnosis of iridovirus in aquaculture
Abstract Iridoviruses are DNA virus and have caused huge economic losses in the aquaculture industry. The aim of this study was to establish a colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) protocol for the on-site detection of Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV).

Antiviral Immunity in Amphibians
Although a variety of virus species can infect amphibians, diseases caused by ranaviruses ([RVs]; Iridoviridae) have become prominent, and are a major concern for biodiversity, agriculture and international trade. The relatively recent and rapid increase

Genomic Sequencing of Ranaviruses Isolated from Edible Frogs (Pelophylax esculentus) [PDF]
Ranaviruses were isolated from wild edible frogs (Pelophylax esculentus)during epizootics in Denmark and Italy. Phylogenomic analyses revealed that these isolates are closely related and belong to a clade of ranaviruses that includes the Andrias ...

Mitochondrion-mediated apoptosis induced by Rana grylio virus infection in fish cells [PDF]
A fish cell line, fathead minnow (FHM) cell, was used to investigate the alteration of mitochondrial dynamics and the mechanism of apoptosis under Rana grylio virus (RGV) infection.
