Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Ranavirus Taxonomy and Phylogeny [PDF]
, 2015 AbstractThe phylum Nucleocytoviricota, known informally as the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV), is a monophyletic assemblage of viruses that infect eukaryotes, ranging from single-celled organisms to humans, worldwide. The NCLDV phylum encompasses two classes (Megaviricetes, Pokkesviricetes), five orders (Pimascovirales, Imitervirales ...

Ranavirus Amplification in Low-Diversity Amphibian Communities [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 In an era where emerging infectious diseases are a serious threat to biodiversity, epidemiological patterns need to be identified, particularly the complex mechanisms driving the dynamics of multi-host pathogens in natural communities. Many amphibian species have faced unprecedented population declines associated with diseases.

Emerging threat of ranavirus: prevalence, genetic diversity, and climatic drivers of Ranavirus (Iridoviridae) in ectothermic vertebrates of Asia. [PDF]
Front Vet Sci, 2023 IntroductionRanavirus disease, caused by viruses within the genus Ranavirus (Iridoviridae), is considered a globally emerging infectious disease linked to mass mortality events in both wild and cultured ectothermic vertebrates. Surveillance work is, however, limited in Asia hence prevalence and the dynamics of the disease remain poorly understood.

Ranavirus: past, present and future [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2011 Emerging infectious diseases are a significant threat to global biodiversity. While historically overlooked, a group of iridoviruses in the genus Ranavirus has been responsible for die-offs in captive and wild amphibian, reptile and fish populations around the globe over the past two decades.

Global patterns of ranavirus detections
FACETS, 2021 Ranaviruses are emerging pathogens of poikilothermic vertebrates. In 2015 the Global Ranavirus Reporting System (GRRS) was established as a centralized, open access, online database for reports of the presence (and absence) of ranavirus around the globe. The GRRS has multiple data layers (e.g., location, date, host(s) species, and methods of detection)

Non-Lethal Detection of Ranavirus in Fish
Viruses, 2023 Emergent infectious diseases have an increasing impact on both farmed animals and wildlife. The ability to screen for pathogens is critical for understanding host–pathogen dynamics and informing better management. Ranavirus is a pathogen of concern, associated with disease outbreaks worldwide, affecting a broad range of fish, amphibian, and reptile ...

Efficacy of select disinfectants at inactivating Ranavirus [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2009 Ranavirus can cause disease in reptiles and amphibians. Because survival time outside of a host remains uncertain, equipment must be disinfected to prevent transmission of ranaviruses. However, disinfectant efficacy against amphibian ranaviruses has not been investigated for chlorhexidine (Nolvasan), sodium hypochlorite (bleach), or potassium compounds.

XENOPUS LAEVIS: A POSSIBLE VECTOR OF RANAVIRUS INFECTION? [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007 Frog virus 3 (FV3) or FV3-like viruses (Iridoviridae) infect a wide range of amphibian species, and they are becoming increasingly and causally associated with amphibian disease outbreaks worldwide. We have established the frog Xenopus laevis as an experimental model to study host defense and pathogenesis of FV3 infection. Although X.

Molecular Confirmation of Ranavirus Infection in Amphibians From Chad, Africa [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Ranaviruses are DNA viruses (Family Iridoviridae; Subfamily Alphairidovirinae) and ranaviral disease is considered an emerging infectious disease of ectothermic vertebrates. Ranavirus infection can have varying pathological effects on infected amphibians, reptiles, and fish, most notably causing significant mortality events and population declines ...
