Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology and pathology of amphibian ranaviruses.
TL;DR: In as much as ranaviral disease is listed as a notifiable disease by the World Organization for Animal Health and is a threat to amphibian survival, biosecurity precautions are implemented by nations to reduce the likelihood of transporting ranavirus virions among populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecopathology of ranaviruses infecting amphibians.
TL;DR: Future investigations should focus on the genetic basis for pathogen virulence and host susceptibility, ecological and anthropogenic mechanisms contributing to emergence, and vaccine development for use in captive populations and species reintroduction programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny, Life History, and Ecology Contribute to Differences in Amphibian Susceptibility to Ranaviruses
Jason T. Hoverman,Jason T. Hoverman,Matthew J. Gray,Nathan A. Haislip,Debra L. Miller,Debra L. Miller +5 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of phylogeny, life history characteristics, and habitat associations of amphibians have the potential to impact susceptibility to ranaviruses, and it is suggested that species within the anuran family Ranidae were generally more susceptible to ranvirus infection compared to species from the other five families.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of cattle on amphibian larvae and the aquatic environment
TL;DR: Given the negative impacts of cattle on water quality, detrital biomass, larval amphibian species richness and relative abundance of some amphibianspecies, it is recommended that farmers consider excluding these livestock from aquatic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anuran susceptibilities to ranaviruses: role of species identity, exposure route, and a novel virus isolate
TL;DR: The results suggest that ranaviruses can rapidly infect and cause disease in multiple amphibian species and recommend that all nations adopt the protocol set forth by the World Organization for Animal Health for testing and certifying that amphibians that are commercially shipped are negative for ranavirus infection.
