Rapid and facile detection of largemouth bass ranavirus with CRISPR/Cas13a.

Fish and Shellfish Immunology
Largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBV) is an epidemic disease that seriously jeopardizes the culture of largemouth bass（Micropterus salmoides）, and it has a very high incidence in largemouth bass. Once an outbreak occurs, it may directly lead to the failure of

Dose and host characteristics influence virulence of ranavirus infections

Oecologia, 2005
Parasites play a prominent role in the ecology, evolution, and more recently, conservation of many organisms. For example, emerging infectious diseases, including a group of lethal ranaviruses, are associated with the declines and extinctions of amphibians around the world. An increasingly important basic and applied question is: what controls parasite

Mosquitoes as a Potential Vector of Ranavirus Transmission in Terrestrial Turtles

EcoHealth, 2014
Ranaviruses are significant pathogens of amphibians, reptiles, and fishes, contributing to mass mortality events worldwide. Despite an increasing focus on ranavirus ecology, our understanding of ranavirus transmission, especially among reptilian hosts, remains limited.

Development of an immunochromatography assay kit for rapid detection of ranavirus

Journal of Virological Methods, 2015
Ranaviruses are large, double-stranded DNA viruses of the family Iridoviridae and are known to be primary pathogens in frogs, fish and other amphibians. These viruses have been shown to be highly adaptable and have the ability to cross species barriers, making them a potent threat to global biodiversity.

High susceptibility of the endangered dusky gopher frog to ranavirus

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2014
Amphibians are one of the most imperiled vertebrate groups, with pathogens playing a role in the decline of some species. Rare species are particularly vulnerable to extinction because populations are often isolated and exist at low abundance. The potential impact of pathogens on rare amphibian species has seldom been investigated.

Widespread Occurrence of Ranavirus in Pond-Breeding Amphibian Populations

EcoHealth, 2011
Ranaviruses are an emerging threat for many amphibian populations, yet their distribution in amphibian communities and the association of infection with possible stressors and species is not fully understood due to historically sparse surveillance. Agricultural practices that reduce the water quality of amphibian breeding habitats (e.g., cattle access ...

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.

Ranavirus and Its Impact on the Amphibian Population

Middle East Research Journal of Biological Sciences
Mass mortality of amphibians has occurred globally since at least the early 1990s from viral pathogens that are members of the genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae. This disease has a wide host range and with the movement of ranavirus-infected animals in commerce, ranaviruses have become an increasing threat to captive and wild populations, especially ...

High prevalence and concomitant infection of Eustrongylides sp. and Ranavirus in the invasive American Bullfrog in Brazil.

Parasitology international
American Bullfrogs, Aquarana catesbeiana, are invasive anuran species distributed worldwide. One of the adverse impacts that this species causes in native communities is as a reservoir host for pathogens and parasites.

A naturaly attenuated largemouth bass ranavirus strain provided protection for Micropterus salmoides by immersion immunization.

Fish and Shellfish Immunology
Largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBV) causes disease outbreaks and high mortality at all stages of largemouth bass farming. Therefore, live vaccine development is critical for largemouth bass prevention against LMBV by immersion immunization.
