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.

First record of ranavirus (Ranavirus sp.) in Siberia, Russia [PDF]

Herpetozoa, 2022
Ranaviruses are a group of double-strand DNA viruses that infect fish, amphibians and reptiles. These viruses are responsible for mass fish and amphibian mortality events worldwide, both in the wild and at fish and amphibian farms. The number of detected

Transmission of ranavirus between ectothermic vertebrate hosts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Transmission is an essential process that contributes to the survival of pathogens. Ranaviruses are known to infect different classes of lower vertebrates including amphibians, fishes and reptiles.

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 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.

Protective Immunity Induced by DNA Vaccination against Ranavirus Infection in Chinese Giant Salamander Andrias davidianus

Viruses, 2018
Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV) is an emerging viral pathogen that causes severe systemic hemorrhagic disease in Chinese giant salamanders. There is an urgent need for developing an effective vaccine against this fatal disease.

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,

Is Xenopus laevis introduction linked with Ranavirus incursion, persistence and spread in Chile? [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Ranaviruses have been associated with amphibian, fish and reptile mortality events worldwide and with amphibian population declines in parts of Europe. Xenopus laevis is a widespread invasive amphibian species in Chile.

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract 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 ...
