Salt in the Wound: Assessing Pathogen Susceptibility in Amphibian Populations Across a Gradient of Salt Pollution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The survival function of nine larval wood frog populations and their viral loads when exposed to FV3. The populations were collected as eggs from a range of salt‐polluted ponds. Viral load data are means ±1 SE. The populations are ordered in terms of the saltiness of their natal ponds.

MONITORING RANAVIRUS-ASSOCIATED MORTALITY IN A DUTCH HEATHLAND IN THE AFTERMATH OF A RANAVIRUS DISEASE OUTBREAK

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 ...

Glutathione Impacts Both Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Virulence and Amphibian Cellular Defense in a Chytridiomycosis Model

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Glutathione shapes interactions between Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and amphibian hosts. In Bd, glutathione reductase is essential for survival, and exogenous glutathione enhances zoospore release. In host cells, Bd infection depletes glutathione and increases oxidative stress.

Sublethal effects of a mass mortality agent: pathogen-mediated plasticity of growth and development in a widespread North American amphibian

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Amphibians exhibit diverse responses to environmental challenges, but their responses to infection risk remain poorly understood. This study investigates how the presence of ranavirus, a deadly viral pathogen, affects growth, development, and resource ...

Genomic Sequencing of Ranaviruses Isolated from Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

Phage Cocktail Designed for Wastewater Bioremediation Has Limited Effect on Crustacean Filtrator Microbiome Diversity and Health

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Phage cocktail designed for wastewater bioremediation is safe for freshwater filtrators. D. magna cultured with phages showed no significant changes in life‐history parameters and minor shifts in the microbial composition with increase in alpha diversity.

Andrias davidianus Ranavirus (ADRV) Genome Replicate Efficiently by Engaging Cellular Mismatch Repair Protein MSH2

Viruses, 2022
As nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, replication of ranaviruses (genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae) involves a series of viral and host proteins.

Characterization of a ranavirus inhibitor of the antiviral protein kinase PKR [PDF]

, 2011
Background Ranaviruses (family Iridoviridae) are important pathogens of lower vertebrates. However, little is known about how they circumvent the immune response of their hosts.

Recovery of ranavirus dsDNA from formalin-fixed archival material [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2000
The extraction and amplification of nucleic acid from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues has become an important exercise in the collection of retrospective epidemiological data. A protocol is described that enables the extraction and amplification of dsDNA from fixed tissues within paraffin blocks and from specimens stored in 10% (aq ...

Weathering the Storm: Legacies of Extreme Meteorological Events and Daily Weather Variability Shape the Skin Microbiota of the Endangered Golden Alpine Salamander Salamandra atra aurorae (Trevisan, 1982)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In 2018 the Vaia windstorm caused severe damage to much of the woodland habitat of the golden Alpine salamander (Salamandra atra aurorae), an endangered subspecies endemic to the Venetian Prealps, the consequences of which are still being understood. We profiled the bacterial and fungal skin microbiota of 56 golden Alpine salamanders from forest plots ...
