Viruses, 2022 Ranaviruses have been involved in amphibian mass mortality events worldwide. Effective screening to control this pathogen is essential; however, current sampling methods are unsuitable for the detection of subclinical infections.

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 ...

Detection of spatiotemporal variation in ranavirus distribution using eDNA
Environmental DNA, 2020 Amphibian population declines have been associated with emerging diseases including ranaviruses, which can cause mass die‐offs across entire amphibian communities.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The global amphibian declines are compounded by ranavirus infections such as Frog Virus 3 (FV3), and amphibian tadpoles more frequently succumb to these pathogens than adult animals.

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2016 The ranaviruses are an emerging group of viruses that infect amphibians, fish, and reptiles. Although ranaviruses have not been linked to extinctions, emergence in amphibian communities has resulted in population declines for some species. We present the results of ranavirus-associated mortality in a Dutch national park in the aftermath of an outbreak ...

A de novo Assembly of the Common Frog (Rana temporaria) Transcriptome and Comparison of Transcription Following Exposure to Ranavirus and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Amphibians are experiencing global declines and extinctions, with infectious diseases representing a major factor. In this study we examined the transcriptional response of metamorphic hosts (common frog, Rana temporaria) to the two most important ...

Largemouth Bass Virus Infection Induced Non-Apoptotic Cell Death in MsF Cells
Viruses, 2022 Largemouth bass virus (LMBV), belonging to the genus Ranavirus, causes high mortality and heavy economic losses in largemouth bass aquaculture. In the present study, a novel cell line, designated as MsF, was established from the fin of largemouth bass ...

Poor biosecurity could lead to disease outbreaks in animal populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Human-mediated disease outbreaks due to poor biosecurity practices when processing animals in wild populations have been suspected. We tested whether not changing nitrile gloves between processing wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) tadpoles and co-housing

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.

Ranavirus infections associated with skin lesions in lizards [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2013 Abstract Ranaviral disease in amphibians has been studied intensely during the last decade, as associated mass-mortality events are considered to be a global threat to wild animal populations. Several studies have also included other susceptible ectothermic vertebrates (fish and reptiles), but only very few cases of ranavirus infections in ...
