Diversity-Stability Dynamics of the Amphibian Skin Microbiome and Susceptibility to a Lethal Viral Pathogen

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Variation among animals in their host-associated microbial communities is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of important life history traits including growth, metabolism, and resistance to disease. Quantitative estimates of the factors shaping

The Binding, Infection, and Promoted Growth of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis by the Ranavirus FV3

Viruses
Increasing reports suggest the occurrence of co-infection between Ranaviruses such as Frog Virus 3 (FV3) and the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in various amphibian species.

Mandarin fish von Hippel-Lindau protein regulates the NF-κB signaling pathway via interaction with IκB to promote fish ranavirus replication

Zoological Research
The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (VHL), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, functions as a critical regulator of the oxygen-sensing pathway for targeting hypoxia-inducible factors. Recent evidence suggests that mammalian VHL may also be critical to the

First evidence of amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) and ranavirus in Hong Kong amphibian trade.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The emerging infectious amphibian diseases caused by amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd) and ranaviruses are responsible for global amphibian population declines and extinctions.

Ingestion of polyethylene terephthalate microplastic water contaminants by Xenopus laevis tadpoles negatively affects their resistance to ranavirus infection and antiviral immunity

Environmental Pollution
Small plastic debris (0.1 μm to 5 mm) or microplastics (MPs) have become major pollutants of aquatic ecosystems worldwide and studies suggest that MPs exposure can pose serious threats to human and wildlife health.

Immune Defenses Against Ranavirus Infections

AbstractRanaviruses (RV, family Iridoviridae) infect fish, amphibians, and reptiles, raising considerable ecological and commercial concerns due to the escalating infection prevalence and the resulting die-offs of wild and aquacultural species. Notably, ranaviruses exhibit uncanny capacities to cross host species barriers, likely owing to their potent ...

Morphogenesis of largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBRaV) in the epithelioma papulosum cyprinid cell line

Israeli Journal of Aquaculture (Bamidgeh)
Largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBRaV) belongs to the Ranavirus genus of the Iridoviridae family. It is a highly pathogenic virus that causes mass mortality in largemouth bass.
