Ranavirus could facilitate local extinction of rare amphibian species

Oecologia, 2016
There is growing evidence that pathogens play a role in population declines and species extinctions. For small populations, disease-induced extinction may be especially probable. We estimated the susceptibility of two amphibian species of conservation concern (the dusky gopher frog [Lithobates sevosus] and boreal toad [Anaxyrus boreas boreas]) to an ...

ISOLATION OF A RANAVIRUS FROM A GECKO (UROPLATUS FIMBRIATUS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2005
A virus was isolated from the liver and stomach of a leaf-tailed gecko (Uroplatus fimbriatus) with granulomatous lesions on the tongue and hepatitis. The virus was identified as an iridovirus on the basis of morphology by electron microscopy, restriction endonuclease assay, and sequencing of a large portion of the major capsid protein gene. Comparative

Landscape setting and risk of Ranavirus mortality events

Biological Conservation, 2008
Abstract Amphibian mortality events in relatively pristine and protected settings cause particular concern because they may be linked to larger scale, off-site factors that interact with local landscape features. We used logistic regression and model selection criterion (QAIC c ) to identify landscape features key to predicting disease incidence in ...

Antiviral effects of rhein on largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBRaV)

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
Largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBRaV), also known as largemouth bass virus (LMBV), is a highly damaging viral pathogen that causes widespread mortality in cultured largemouth bass and poses a significant threat to the farming industry in China. However, there is a paucity of effective preventive methods for this disease by LMBRaV. Research has established

Evaluation and Application of Andrographolide Against Largemouth Bass Ranavirus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
It is well-established that Largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBRaV) induces viral ulcerative syndrome, a highly transmissible and lethal viral disease afflicting largemouth bass aquaculture. Given the urgent need for available prevention and control methods, this study evaluated the antiviral activities of fifteen naturally occurring compounds derived from ...

Polystyrene Nanoplastics Significantly Facilitate Largemouth Bass Ranavirus Infection of Host Cells

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Novel pollutants nanoplastics (NPs) are widely distributed in aquatic environments and may pose a health threat to aquatic organisms. Notably, the contribution of NPs to the occurrence of viral diseases in aquatic animals remains largely uncertain.

First occurrence of ranavirus in the Scandinavian peninsula

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose a major threat to global amphibian populations, contributing to widespread mortality and species extinctions. Among EIDs, those caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( B d
