Ranaviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that cause hemorrhagic disease in amphibians, reptiles, and fish. They have caused mass die-offs of ectothermic vertebrates in wild and captive populations around the globe. There is evidence that this pathogen is emerging and responsible for population declines in certain locations. Considering that amphibians and freshwater turtles are suitable hosts and the most imperiled vertebrate taxa in the world, ranaviruses can have significant impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function. Additionally, many fish that are raised in aquaculture facilities and traded internationally are suitable hosts; thus, the potential economic impact of ranaviruses is significant. Ranaviruses also serve as a model for replication and gene function of large double-stranded DNA viruses. There is an urgent need to assemble the contemporary information on ranaviruses and provide guidance on how to assess their threats in populations. Through the Global Ranavirus Consortium, 24 experts from six countries were organize to write this volume, the first book on ranaviruses. The book begins with a discussion on the global extent o | | 出版日期 | Book‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ 2015 | | 关键词 | Amphibians; DNA virus; Mass mortality; Pathogen pollution; Species Declines; Viral ecology; Fish and Wildl | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-13755-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-35777-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-13755-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and the Author(s) 2015 |
