Viruses have been infecting their host cells since the dawn of life, and this extremely long-
term coevolution gave rise to some surprising consequences for the entire tree of life. It is …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Although a wide range of viruses have been reported in marine molluscs, most of these
reports rely on ultrastructural examination and few of these viruses have been fully …

The family of Malacoherpesviridae is currently represented by only two viruses infecting
molluscs, Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) and Haliotid herpesvirus 1 (HaHV-1), both …

Elevated water temperature can act as a stressor impacting the immune responses of
molluscs, potentially increasing their susceptibility to microbial infections. Abalone are …

Marine molluscs, like all living organisms, are constantly exposed to viruses and have
evolved efficient antiviral defences. We review here recent developments in molluscan …

Summary Ostreid herpesvirus type 1 (OsHV‐1) has become a problematic infective agent for
the P acific oyster C rassostrea gigas. In particular, the OsHV‐1 μVar subtype has been …

Although traditionally viewed as streamlined and simple, discoveries over the last century
have revealed that viruses can exhibit surprisingly complex physical structures, genomic …

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 …

Herpesviruses occur in an impressively wide range of animals and are associated with
various diseases. The numerous routes taken during hundreds of millions of years of …
