Ranavirus cross-species infections have been documented, but the viral proteins involved in
the interaction with cell receptors have not yet been identified. Here, viral cell-binding …

Since their discovery nearly 50 years ago, our understanding of ranavirus biology has
developed in two distinct stages. The first, driven by the work of Allan Granoff, his …

Infections of ectothermic vertebrates by members of the genus Ranavirus (RV; family
Iridoviridae) and the resulting disease outbreaks and die-offs among wild and farmed …

Ranaviruses are pathogens of ectothermic vertebrates, including amphibians. We reviewed
patterns of host range and virulence of ranaviruses in the context of virus genotype and …

Parasites play a prominent role in the ecology, evolution, and more recently, conservation of
many organisms. For example, emerging infectious diseases, including a group of lethal …

The two putative proteins RGV-63R and RGV-91R encoded by Rana grylio virus (RGV) are
DNA polymerase and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) respectively, and are core …

Transmission is central to our understanding and efforts to control the spread of infectious
diseases. Because transmission generally requires close contact, host movements and …

Known as lethal pathogens, Ranaviruses have been identified in diseased fish, amphibians
(including Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus, the world's largest amphibian) …

Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV) is a member of the genus ranavirus (family
Iridoviridae). ADRV 2L is an envelope protein that could be essential in viral infection. In the …

Ranaviruses (RV, Iridoviridae) are large double-stranded DNA viruses that infect fish,
amphibians and reptiles. For ecological and commercial reasons, considerable attention …
