Ranavirus ecology in common frogs (Rana Temporaria) from United Kingdom: transmission dynamics, alternate hosts and host-strain interactions. [PDF]
, 2009 PhDThe ranaviruses (Family: Iridoviridae) are a group of emerging pathogens in amphibians. Ranavirus(es) were introduced to the UK in the late 1980s and have been associated with mass mortality events in common frogs (Rana temporaria) in south east ...

Animals, 2023 Ranaviruses are global multi-host pathogens that infect ectothermic vertebrates and cause mass mortality events in some species. In 2021–2022, we surveyed two species of aquatic turtles in a Virginia site where previous research found ranavirus in ...

Environmental DNA, 2021 Environmental DNA (eDNA) collection has emerged as a powerful and noninvasive wildlife population and pathogen‐monitoring tool. Ranavirus is an emerging pathogen linked to die‐offs in amphibian species.

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. Yet,

New approaches to the detection and evaluation of Ranavirus infection [PDF]
, 2023 Ranavirus, a genus of large double-stranded DNA viruses, has been involved in multiple amphibian mass mortality events around the globe since the 1980s.

Viruses, 2021 Ranaviruses are an important wildlife pathogen of fish, amphibians, and reptiles. Previous studies have shown that susceptibility and severity of infection can vary with age, host species, virus strain, temperature, population density, and presence of ...

Ten years of ranavirus research (2010–2019): an analysis of global research trends
FACETS, 2021 Ranaviruses are large nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses that infect ectothermic vertebrates. Here we report the results of a scientometric analysis of the field of ranavirology for the last 10 years.

Evidence for low prevalence of ranaviruses in Ontario, Canada’s freshwater turtle population [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Ontario, Canada is home to eight native species of turtles; all eight are federally listed as Species At Risk, due to anthropogenic threats. However, until recently, reports of infectious disease have been lacking.

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.

Collapse of Amphibian Communities Due to an Introduced Ranavirus [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 The emergence of infectious diseases with a broad host range can have a dramatic impact on entire communities and has become one of the main threats to biodiversity. Here, we report the simultaneous exploitation of entire communities of potential hosts with associated severe declines following invasion by a novel viral pathogen.
