Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.Frog‐biting midges were recorded exclusively on Hylodes asper (especially on males calling near streams and only during the day) and not on syntopic H. phyllodes, indicating host preference and activity synchronization. Micropredation on these visual‐signaling frogs is likely influenced by precipitation, especially under high maximum temperatures ...

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 ...

The Molecular Biology of Frog Virus 3 and other Iridoviruses Infecting Cold-Blooded Vertebrates
Viruses, 2011 Frog virus 3 (FV3) is the best characterized member of the family Iridoviridae. FV3 study has provided insights into the replication of other family members, and has served as a model of viral transcription, genome replication, and virus-mediated host ...

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 ...

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Amphibian populations worldwide face threats from emerging infectious diseases. We screened frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) from Central and South America for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Ranaviruses, and Trypanosoma spp. using qPCR. All three pathogens were detected, indicating that Corethrella may act as vectors and represent promising tools

Characterization of a ranavirus inhibitor of the antiviral protein kinase PKR [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2011 Ranaviruses (family Iridoviridae) are important pathogens of lower vertebrates. However, little is known about how they circumvent the immune response of their hosts. Many ranaviruses contain a predicted protein, designated vIF2α, which shows homology with the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α.
