Megalocytivirus: A Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenicity, Immune Evasion, and Prevention Strategies

Reviews in Aquaculture
ABSTRACTMegalocytivirus, a large double‐stranded DNA virus belonging to the Iridoviridae family, has infected over 100 species of fish, leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture, food, and ornamental fish industries. These viruses exhibit icosahedral symmetry and have diameters ranging from 120 to 200 nm.

Molecular epidemiology of Megalocytivirus in freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) from Johor, Malaysia. [PDF]

Vet World, 2023
Background and Aim: Malaysia has more than 630 culturists who are involved in the ornamental fish industry and culture 250 species, including local and exotic species. Among these viruses, megalocytiviruses have been associated with severe systemic diseases and economic losses in ornamental fish.

Genotypic Characterization of <i>Infectious Spleen and Kidney Necrosis Virus</i> (ISKNV) in Southeast Asian Aquaculture. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2023
Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) is a species within the genus Megalocytivirus (family Iridoviridae), which causes high mortality disease in many freshwater and marine fish species. ISKNV was first reported in Asia and is an emerging threat to aquaculture with increasing global distribution, in part due to its presence in ornamental ...

Megalocytivirus infection in orbiculate batfish Platax orbicularis [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013
Megalocytiviruses cause systemic disease in both marine and freshwater fishes, negatively impacting ornamental and food fish aquaculture. In this report, we characterize a megalocytivirus infection in a captive marine ornamental fish, the orbiculate batfish Platax orbicularis.

Megalocytivirus infection in cultured Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016
Megalocytiviruses, such as infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), induce lethal systemic diseases in both ornamental and food fish species. In this study, we investigated an epizootic affecting Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus cultured in the US Midwest.

Complete genome sequence of a Megalocytivirus (family Iridoviridae) associated with turbot mortality in China [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2010
Abstract Background Turbot reddish body iridovirus (TRBIV) causes serious systemic diseases with high mortality in the cultured turbot, Scophthalmus maximus. We here sequenced and analyzed the complete genome of TRBIV, which was identified in Shandong province, China. Results

Characterization of a Novel Megalocytivirus Isolated from European Chub (Squalius cephalus) [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
A novel virus from moribund European chub (Squalius cephalus) was isolated on epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells. Transmission electron microscopic examination revealed abundant non-enveloped, hexagonal virus particles in the cytoplasm of infected EPC cells consistent with an iridovirus.

Improving tilapia biosecurity through a value chain approach

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 57-91, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Tilapia aquaculture is a major source of animal protein, with global production reaching over 6 million tonnes in 2020. The rapid growth of the tilapia sector has led to a number of emerging disease threats and subsequent production losses. Risk analysis can provide a targeted approach for improving biosecurity in the tilapia sector.

Patterns of infection, origins, and transmission of ranaviruses among the ectothermic vertebrates of Asia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 22, Page 15498-15519, November 2021., 2021
Ranaviral infections are becoming frequent, severe, and widespread, causing mortality in native biodiversity and cultured species in Asia. Ranaviruses have a broad host range and are transmitted through live animal trade. Ranaviral disease is predominantly a summer disease, which may spread unhindered with global warming. The controlling of the disease
