Expression of frog virus 3 genes is impaired in mammalian cell lines [PDF]
Frog virus 3 (FV3) is a large DNA virus that is the prototypic member of the family Iridoviridae. To examine levels of FV3 gene expression we generated a polyclonal antibody against the FV3 protein 75L.

Understanding the impacts of disease even in non‐declining populations is important for understanding population level health and resilience to other emerging threats. In this study we explored the impacts of co‐infection of the fungal pathogen and a novel nematode parasite on a common Australian frog species. We found that this novel nematode actually

ABSTRACT Wild populations face unprecedented pressure from an assortment of anthropogenic environmental changes and parasites. We sought to understand how host–parasite interactions are affected by the interactive effects of multiple environmental stressors and subsequent parasite infection.

Genomic Sequencing of Ranaviruses Isolated from Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) [PDF]
Ranaviruses have been isolated from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in Denmark. Phylogenomic analyses revealed that these two ranaviruses are nearly identical and form a distinct clade at the base of the ranavirus tree ...

Impacts of sequential and simultaneous coinfection by major amphibian pathogens on disease outcomes
Abstract In natural environments, hosts frequently experience infections from multiple pathogenic species or strains, significantly influencing disease dynamics. Despite shared susceptible hosts and overlapping distributions, the impacts of coinfections by the two most threatening global amphibian pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and ...

Stress and chytridiomycosis: Exogenous exposure to corticosterone does not alter amphibian susceptibility to a fungal pathogen [PDF]
Recent emergence and spread of the amphibian fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been attributed to a number of factors, including environmental stressors that increase host susceptibility to Bd.

A longitudinal analysis of pathogen shedding patterns in confiscated eastern box turtles
Seventeen confiscated eastern box turtles were sampled for 4 pathogens monthly for a year to determine optimal sampling strategies and variation in pathogen shedding patterns. Observed prevalence values were within 10% of unbiased prevalence values, but the probability of detecting pathogens in an infected turtle during a given month was generally low,
