How do parasites and predators choose their victim? A trade‐off between quality and vulnerability across antagonistic interactions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2099-2115, October 2025.
ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can

Complete genomic DNA sequence of rock bream iridovirus

open access: yesVirology, 2004
Iridovirus is a causative agent of epizootics among cultured rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) in Korea. Here, we report the complete genomic sequence of rock bream iridovirus (RBIV). The genome of RBIV was 112080 bp long and contained at least 118 putative open reading frames (ORFs), and its genome organization was similar to that of infectious ...

Isolation of an iridovirus from pike-perch Stizostedion lucioperca [PDF]

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 1998
We have isolated a large virus from pike-perch Stizostedion lucioperca fingerlings with no signs of disease. The biochemical structural, and serological properties of this newly isolated virus suggest that it belongs to the family Iridoviridae. The virus multiplied and was cytopathogenic in several cultured fish cell lines.

Leiomyoma Causing Disease in a Wild Adriatic Sturgeon (Acipenser naccarii, Bonaparte, 1836)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The Adriatic sturgeon, Acipenser naccarii, is an endemic species to the Adriatic Sea basin classified as critically endangered according to the IUCN Red List. Limited information is available regarding the health status and diseases affecting this species, particularly in the wild.

Geographic Distribution of Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV) in Freshwater Fish in South Eastern Australia: Lost Opportunity for a Notifiable Pathogen to Expand Its Geographic Range

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV) was originally detected in Victoria, Australia in 1984. It spread rapidly over two decades with epidemic mortality events in wild redfin perch (Perca fluviatilis) and mild disease in farmed rainbow trout ...

Class A Scavenger Receptors Are Used by Frog Virus 3 During Its Cellular Entry

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Frog virus 3 (FV3) is the type species of the genus Ranavirus (family Iridoviridae). FV3 and FV3-like viruses are globally distributed infectious agents with the capacity to replicate in three vertebrate classes (teleosts, amphibians, and reptiles).

Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) samples help to investigate transcriptomic responses in wildlife disease

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation and management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly is made increasingly possible by a variety of genomic approaches, yet, for many species the bottleneck to understanding this, remains access to ...

The Future of Pathogen Detection in Aquaculture: Miniature Labs, Field‐Compatible Assays, environmental DNA and RNA, CRISPR and Metatranscriptomics

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Inland recirculating aquaculture is a thriving food industry providing sustainable and locally sourced high‐quality protein. However, its expansion is accompanied by emerging challenges regarding the spread of pathogens and diseases. Detection and management of pathogens in aquaculture remain underdeveloped compared to other animal farming ...

Recombinant Ranaviruses for Studying Evolution of Host–Pathogen Interactions in Ectothermic Vertebrates

open access: yesViruses, 2016
Ranaviruses (Iridoviridae) are large DNA viruses that are causing emerging infectious diseases at an alarming rate in both wild and captive cold blood vertebrate species all over the world. Although the general biology of these viruses that presents some
