Emerging threat of ranavirus: prevalence, genetic diversity, and climatic drivers of Ranavirus (Iridoviridae) in ectothermic vertebrates of Asia [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionRanavirus disease, caused by viruses within the genus Ranavirus (Iridoviridae), is considered a globally emerging infectious disease linked to mass mortality events in both wild and cultured ectothermic vertebrates.

Investigation of Amphibian Mortality Events in Wildlife Reveals an On-Going Ranavirus Epidemic in the North of the Netherlands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In the four years following the first detection of ranavirus (genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae) infection in Dutch wildlife in 2010, amphibian mortality events were investigated nationwide to detect, characterize and map ranaviruses in amphibians ...

Trace Amounts of Ranavirus Detected in Common Musk Turtles (Sternotherus odoratus) at a Site Where the Pathogen Was Previously Common [PDF]

Animals, 2023
Ranaviruses are global multi-host pathogens that infect ectothermic vertebrates and cause mass mortality events in some species. In 2021–2022, we surveyed two species of aquatic turtles in a Virginia site where previous research found ranavirus in ...

Viral genomic methylation and the interspecies evolutionary relationships of ranavirus. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Ranaviruses are capable of infecting both wild and farmed fish, amphibians, and reptiles, leading to significant economic losses and ecological risks. Currently, ranaviruses have been found in at least 175 species spanning six continents.

Detection of spatiotemporal variation in ranavirus distribution using eDNA

Environmental DNA, 2020
Amphibian population declines have been associated with emerging diseases including ranaviruses, which can cause mass die‐offs across entire amphibian communities.

Ranavirus and helminth parasite co-infection in invasive American bullfrogs in the Atlantic forest, Brazil [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Emerging infectious diseases threaten amphibian species across the globe. In Brazil, the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana) is a highly invasive species that can potentially transmit parasites and pathogens to native amphibians.

Case report: ranavirus infections in captive eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) in Japan [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Ranaviruses are broad host-range pathogens that cause fatal infections in ectothermic vertebrates, including fish, amphibians, and reptiles and are considered emerging infectious diseases. This report describes a case of ranavirus infection identified at

First Report of Endemic Frog Virus 3 (FV3)-like Ranaviruses in the Korean Clawed Salamander (Onychodactylus koreanus) in Asia [PDF]

Viruses
Frog virus 3 (FV3) in the genus Ranavirus of the family Iridoviridae causes mass mortality in both anurans and urodeles worldwide; however, the phylogenetic origin of FV3-like ranaviruses is not well established.

Pathogen Risk Analysis for Wild Amphibian Populations Following the First Report of a Ranavirus Outbreak in Farmed American Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) from Northern Mexico

Viruses, 2019
Ranaviruses are the second deadliest pathogens for amphibian populations throughout the world. Despite their wide distribution in America, these viruses have never been reported in Mexico, the country with the fifth highest amphibian diversity in the ...

Isolation and Characterization of a Frog Virus 3 Strain from a Wood Frog (Rana sylvatica) in Wood Buffalo National Park [PDF]

Viruses
Members of the Iridoviridae family, genus Ranavirus, represent a group of globally emerging pathogens of ecological and economic importance. In 2017, an amphibian die-off of wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) and boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculata) was ...
