Members of the family Iridoviridae, collectively referred to as iridovirids, are large, double-
stranded DNA-containing viruses that infect invertebrates and cold-blooded (ectothermic) …

In this review we provide an overview of the diversity of large DNA viruses known to be
pathogenic for invertebrates. We present their taxonomical classification and describe the …

Members of the family Iridoviridae (iridovirids) are large dsDNA viruses that infect both
invertebrate and vertebrate ectotherms and whose symptoms range in severity from minor …

The genome of Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) contains a sequence that shows
similarity to eubacterial NAD+-dependent DNA ligases. The 615-amino acid open reading …

Chinese giant salamander iridovirus (CGSIV) is the emerging causative agent to farmed
Chinese giant salamanders in nationwide China. CGSIV is a member of the common …

Rana grylio virus (RGV) is a pathogenic iridovirus that has resulted in high mortality in
cultured frog. Here, an envelope protein gene, 2L, was identified from RGV and its possible …

Abstract Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) is a nucleocytoplasmic virus with a∼ 212 kb
linear dsDNA genome that encodes 215 putative open reading frames (ORFs). Proteomic …

Chilo iridescent virus (CIV), officially named Insect iridescent virus 6 (IIV6), is the type
species of the genus Iridovirus (family Iridoviridae). In this paper we constructed a …

Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV-6) is a nucleocytoplasmic virus with a~ 212 kb linear
dsDNA genome that encodes 215 putative ORFs. The IIV-6 virion-associated proteins …

Abstract Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) is the type species of the Iridovirus genus in the
Betairidovirinae subfamily of the Iridoviridae family. Transcription of the 215 predicted IIV6 …
