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.

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.

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

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.

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 ...

Dissection of the global responses of mandarin fish pyloric cecum to an acute ranavirus (MRV) infection reveals the formation of serositis and then ascites. [PDF]

J Virol
Mandarin fish ranavirus (MRV), a new member of the species Ranavirus micropterus1, sharing over 98% whole-genome nucleotide identity with the well-known largemouth bass virus (LMBV), is a distinct member of the genus Ranavirus within the family ...

Testing the Population-Level Effects of Stress-Induced Susceptibility in the Ranavirus-Wood Frog System. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Chronic exposure to physical, chemical, and biotic stressors can make animals more susceptible to infections. Such stress‐induced susceptibility is widely expected to make disease—and epidemics—more likely and more severe. However, whether the impacts of

Identification of Simultaneous Occurrence of Amphibian Chytrid Fungi and Ranavirus in South Korea. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Simple Summary Amphibian population declines are driven by emerging infectious diseases, particularly chytridiomycosis and ranavirosis, caused by the chytrid fungus and ranavirus.

Infection intensity and severity of Ranavirus transmission in juvenile wood frogs. [PDF]

Oecologia
Ranaviruses are responsible for mass die offs of wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) tadpoles. What happens in between epidemics is less clear, but juvenile (metamorphosed) stages are hypothesized to move Ranaviruses among wetlands and introduce or ...
