Widespread Detection of Amphibian Pathogens in Frog‐Biting Midges (Corethrellidae): Implications for Xenosurveillance

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Amphibian populations worldwide face threats from emerging infectious diseases. We screened frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) from Central and South America for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Ranaviruses, and Trypanosoma spp. using qPCR. All three pathogens were detected, indicating that Corethrella may act as vectors and represent promising tools

Susceptibility of pike Esox lucius to a panel of Ranavirus isolates [PDF]

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2009
In order to study the pathogenicity of ranaviruses to a wild European freshwater fish species, pike Esox lucius fry were challenged with the following Ranavirus isolates: epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV), European sheatfish virus (ESV), European catfish virus (ECV), pike-perch iridovirus (PPIV), New Zealand eel virus (NZeelV) and frog ...

Distribution of a Non‐Native Amphibian in Britain Explained by a Complex History of Introductions and Translocations

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Success in a biological invasion often depends on whether the non‐native species can disperse from its introduction site and spread across the invaded landscape. The alpine newt, Ichthyosaura alpestris, has achieved a widespread distribution in Britain in the last century, with new records continuously reported. The objective of this study

Viral Disease Histopathology in Aquaculture Finfish: Organ‐Specific Pathological Changes and Diagnostic Insights, Referencing the World Organisation for Animal Health: A Review

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aquaculture industry faces significant challenges from viral diseases, many of which are listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as priority pathogens due to their impact on global finfish health and production. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the histopathology of key WOAH‐listed viral pathogens, including ...

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

The Molecular Biology of Frog Virus 3 and other Iridoviruses Infecting Cold-Blooded Vertebrates

open access: yesViruses, 2011
Frog virus 3 (FV3) is the best characterized member of the family Iridoviridae. FV3 study has provided insights into the replication of other family members, and has served as a model of viral transcription, genome replication, and virus-mediated host ...

Ranavirus Distribution and Host Range

open access: yes
Abstract Ranaviruses are globally distributed pathogens in amphibian, fish, and reptile communities that appear to be emerging. Cases of ranavirus infection or disease have been confirmed in at least 177 amphibian species (25 families), 49 fish species (25 families), and 37 reptile species (17 families ...

Ranavirus genotypes in the Netherlands and their potential association with virulence in water frogs (Pelophylax spp.)

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2018
Ranaviruses are pathogenic viruses for poikilothermic vertebrates worldwide. The identification of a common midwife toad virus (CMTV) associated with massive die-offs in water frogs (Pelophylax spp.) in the Netherlands has increased awareness for ...
