Ranavirus Replication: Molecular, Cellular, and Immunological Events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The spatially compartmentalized replication strategy of ranaviruses and other members of the family Iridoviridae is unique among DNA viruses and is a hallmark of the family. Viral DNA replication initially takes place within the nucleus and results in the formation of genome-sized molecules.

Beyond Exponential Decay: How Biphasic and Delayed Decay Dynamics Shape Marine eDNA Dispersal

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We used a multiprong approach with a literature review of eDNA decay experiments, an experimental study of empirical decay patterns, and high‐resolution Lagrangian particle tracking to quantify how different decay patterns drive eDNA dispersal at two contrasted locations in the Bay of Biscay, Northeast Atlantic.

Characterization and Antibody Preparation of the Gene Products of Grouper Iridovirus ORF5L

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Grouper iridovirus (GIV) is a large DNA virus belonging to the family Iridoviridae and genus Ranavirus. It consists of 139,793 base pairs (bp) and 120 open reading frames (ORFs). GIV is a key pathogen of farmed fish worldwide. The functional roles of viral genes must be determined for the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of viral ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Toxicity and Antiviral Activity of Rhein Derivatives Against Nervous Necrosis Virus

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Rhein has been demonstrated to exhibit antiviral activity against nervous necrosis virus (NNV). As rhein coexists in plants with various structurally analogous natural derivatives and may acquire improved biochemical properties through chemical modification, this study investigated the potential of several natural and synthetic derivatives for

Ranaviruses in captive and wild Australian lizards

open access: yesFACETS, 2020
Ranaviral infections have been associated with mass mortality events in captive and wild amphibian, fish, and reptile populations globally. In Australia, two distinct types of ranaviruses have been isolated: epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus in ...

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2608-2624, December 2025.
ABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with

Mycoplasma agassizii Multilocus Sequence Typing Using Nanopore Sequencing: Insights Into Genetic Diversity and Isolate Characterization

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1554, Issue 1, Page 153-162, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Mycoplasma agassizii (Mycoplasmopsis agassizii) is a major pathogen responsible for upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in tortoises, contributing to worldwide population declines. Despite its significance, tools for strain‐level identification and epidemiological tracking remain limited.

An Early‐Life Disruption of Gut Microbiota Has Opposing Effects on Parasite Resistance in Two Host Species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota regulate multiple aspects of host health, including metabolism and the development of the immune system. However, we still know relatively little about how the gut microbiota influences host responses to parasitism in wild organisms, particularly whether host‐microbiota interactions contribute to variation in parasitism across ...

Molecular characterisation of grouper iridovirus isolates from Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Grouper Iriovirus (GIV) is one of the most devastating viral diseases of marine and cultured groupers worldwide. In the current study, 5 presumptive Malaysian GIV isolates were characterised through PCR amplification of the major capsid protein (MCP ...

Non-native Amphibian Pet Trade via Internet in Poland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Overharvesting and trade in amphibian populations is one of the causes of their global decline. Online trade not only encourages the exploitation of an increasing number of rare and endangered amphibian species from all over the world but also ...
