Ranavirus risk depends on host community characteristics more than the presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Novel parasite introductions are threatening wildlife communities globally. The degree of threat depends on the ecological context, namely host community characteristics and the presence of other parasites. How these two factors interact to shape the outcomes of parasite introductions is not known. We experimentally investigated how infection following

The Effect of Temperature, Flow, Density and Disease on Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) Early Life Growth Rate

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Individual growth rates of fish are influenced by gradually changing environmental conditions and rapid‐onset events. However, there is a paucity of information on drivers of spatiotemporal variability in growth rates of fishes across large spatial extents.

Pathogen Risk Analysis for Wild Amphibian Populations Following the First Report of a Ranavirus Outbreak in Farmed American Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) from Northern Mexico

Viruses, 2019
Ranaviruses are the second deadliest pathogens for amphibian populations throughout the world. Despite their wide distribution in America, these viruses have never been reported in Mexico, the country with the fifth highest amphibian diversity in the ...

Effects of Density and Food Availability on the Growth of Captive‐Reared Eastern Hellbenders

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 589-597, September/October 2026.
Our experiments demonstrate that food is the major factor limiting captive‐reared Hellbender growth and that increasing rearing density to the tested levels does not negatively impact growth. Implementing these changes may result in larger, more robust Hellbenders and increase the success of reintroduction programs.

First occurrence of ranavirus in the Scandinavian peninsula

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose a major threat to global amphibian populations, contributing to widespread mortality and species extinctions. Among EIDs, those caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( B d

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 ...

Sublethal effects of wild-type and a vIF-2α-knockout Frog virus 3 on postmetamorphic wood frogs (Rana sylvatica): potential for a stage-specific reservoir

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.

A Review of the Effects of Freshwater Habitat Quality on Aquatic & Semi‐Aquatic Turtles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between freshwater turtles and their aquatic environments. We also highlight areas which have been over‐ or under‐studied and offer recommendations for future research. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles and terrapins require an aquatic habitat as part of their natural ecology ...

Serological survey of Australian native reptiles for exposure to ranavirus [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2017
Ranaviruses have been isolated from many ectothermic vertebrates, and serological surveys of both amphibians and reptiles have shown the presence of ranaviral antibodies in a proportion of these populations. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure serum antibodies against ranavirus in Australian reptiles.
