Prevalence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, B. salamandrivorans, and Ranavirus in the US domestic pet amphibian trade

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
The global trade of live animals facilitates the spread of emerging pathogens, such as the deadly amphibian pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ), B. salamandrivorans ( Bsal ), and Ranavirus spp ( Rv ).

Distribution of a Non‐Native Amphibian in Britain Explained by a Complex History of Introductions and Translocations

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Success in a biological invasion often depends on whether the non‐native species can disperse from its introduction site and spread across the invaded landscape. The alpine newt, Ichthyosaura alpestris, has achieved a widespread distribution in Britain in the last century, with new records continuously reported. The objective of this study

Viral Disease Histopathology in Aquaculture Finfish: Organ‐Specific Pathological Changes and Diagnostic Insights, Referencing the World Organisation for Animal Health: A Review

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aquaculture industry faces significant challenges from viral diseases, many of which are listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as priority pathogens due to their impact on global finfish health and production. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the histopathology of key WOAH‐listed viral pathogens, including ...

Ranaviruses in captive and wild Australian lizards

FACETS, 2020
Ranaviral infections have been associated with mass mortality events in captive and wild amphibian, fish, and reptile populations globally. In Australia, two distinct types of ranaviruses have been isolated: epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus in ...

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

An analysis of the linked decisions in the confiscation of illegally traded turtles

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Increased enforcement of laws governing the international trade of freshwater turtles is increasing the numbers of confiscated turtles. Decision makers are thus increasingly faced with a complex decision, involving multiple linked agencies, regarding the disposition of turtles of unknown origin and disease status, which creates uncertainty about the ...

Major Histocompatibility Complex modulation of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Ranavirus infections in amphibians.

Journal of Evolutionary Biology
Genetic variation in immune genes is an important component of genetic diversity. The genes in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) provide an excellent model system for studying the mechanisms that generate and maintain genetic diversity in ...

Beyond Exponential Decay: How Biphasic and Delayed Decay Dynamics Shape Marine eDNA Dispersal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We used a multiprong approach with a literature review of eDNA decay experiments, an experimental study of empirical decay patterns, and high‐resolution Lagrangian particle tracking to quantify how different decay patterns drive eDNA dispersal at two contrasted locations in the Bay of Biscay, Northeast Atlantic.

Ranavirus Distribution and Host Range

AbstractRanaviruses are globally distributed pathogens in amphibian, fish, and reptile communities that appear to be emerging. Cases of ranavirus infection or disease have been confirmed in at least 177 amphibian species (25 families), 49 fish species (25 families), and 37 reptile species (17 families). Transmission of individual strains between animal
