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 ...

Context-dependent effects of ranaviral infection on northern leopard frog life history traits.
PLoS ONE, 2010 Pathogens have important effects on host life-history traits, but the magnitude of these effects is often strongly context-dependent. The outcome of an interaction between a host and an infectious agent is often associated with the level of stress ...

The genome sequence of the emerging common midwife toad virus identifies an evolutionary intermediate within ranaviruses [PDF]
, 2012 Worldwide amphibian population declines have been ascribed to global warming, increasing pollution levels, and other factors directly related to human activities. These factors may additionally be favoring the emergence of novel pathogens.

Aquatic eDNA can advance monitoring of a small‐bodied terrestrial salamander and amphibian pathogen
Environmental DNA, 2022 Successful conservation efforts for threatened species depend on accurate characterization of their distribution, habitat use, and threats. However, surveillance can be challenging for species with small size, cryptic coloring, or elusive behavior ...

Ranavirus Host Immunity and Immune Evasion [PDF]
, 2015 Ranaviruses (RV, Iridoviridae) are now known to infect fish, amphibians, and reptiles, raising considerable ecological and commercial concerns due to the escalating infection prevalence and the resulting die-offs of wild and aquacultural species. Notably, ranaviruses exhibit uncanny capacities to cross host species barriers of their poikilothermic ...

Transmission dynamics of the amphibian ranavirus Ambystoma tigrinum virus [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2007 Transmission is central to pathogen fitness and strongly influences the impact of pathogens on host populations. Particularly important to transmission dynamics is the distinction between direct transmission requiring close physical contact (e.g. bumping, fighting, or coughing) and indirect transmission from environmental sources such as contaminated ...

FACETS, 2020 Ranaviruses have been associated with rising numbers of mass die-offs in amphibian populations around the globe. However, most studies on ranaviruses to date focused on larval amphibians.

Xenopus laevis and Emerging Amphibian Pathogens in Chile [PDF]
, 2016 Amphibians face an extinction crisis with no precedence. Two emerging infectious diseases, ranaviral disease caused by viruses within the genus Ranavirus and chytridiomycosis due to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), have been linked with amphibian ...
