Ranaviruses, double-stranded DNA viruses (family .Iridoviridae.) that cause systemic, life-threatening disease in a variety of amphibians, reptiles and fish, have contributed to mass die-offs of both wild and captive populations around the globe. These viruses are emerging and increasingly responsible for population declines of ectothermic vertebrates. Because amphibians, reptiles, and freshwater turtles are suitable hosts and among 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 understanding viral replication and gene function among large double-stranded DNA viruses, e.g., poxviruses, asfarvirus, and ascoviruses. Lastly, study of the host immune response to ranaviral disease and the identification of viral immune evasion genes that negatively regulate host immune functions provide insight into which specific immune elements are most important in protec | | 出版日期 | Book‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ 2025Latest edition | | 关键词 | Open Access; iridovirus; pathogen pollution; ranavirus; viral ecology; ectothermic vertebrates | | 版次 | 2 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-64973-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-64975-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-64973-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2025 |
