TLDR
The Iridoviridae is a family of large, icosahedral viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes ranging in size from 103 to 220 kbp, and in vertebrates they can lead to high levels of mortality among commercially and ecologically important fish and amphibians.Abstract:
The Iridoviridae is a family of large, icosahedral viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes ranging in size from 103 to 220 kbp. Members of the subfamily Alphairidovirinae infect ectothermic vertebrates (bony fish, amphibians and reptiles), whereas members of the subfamily Betairidovirinae mainly infect insects and crustaceans. Infections can be either covert or patent, and in vertebrates they can lead to high levels of mortality among commercially and ecologically important fish and amphibians. This is a summary of the current International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the taxonomy of the Iridoviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/iridoviridae.read more

Ranaviruses and other members of the family Iridoviridae: Their place in the virosphere.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses delineate five genera within the family and suggest that members of the families Iridoviridae, Ascovir Families, and Marseilleviridae compromise a monophyletic lineage in which ascoviruses are most closely related to invertebrate iridovIRuses.

TL;DR: The results of molecular tests, histopathological examination, ISDL, and TEM confirmed that E. carinicauda is a susceptible host of DIV1 and showed some degree of tolerance to the infection with DIV 1 per os challenge mimicking natural pathway.

TL;DR: Both bullfrog ranaviruses are more pathogenic than wild-type FV3 suggesting recombination may have resulted in the increased pathogenicity observed in the ranavirus isolated in the later outbreak.

Family Iridoviridae: Poor Viral Relations No Longer
TL;DR: The molecular and genetic basis of viral replication, pathogenesis, and immunity are described, and viral ecology is discussed with reference to members from each of the invertebrate and vertebrate genera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomic analysis of the family Iridoviridae : re-annotating and defining the core set of iridovirus genes
TL;DR: The re-analysis of genomes within the Iridoviridae family provides a unifying framework to understand the biology of these viruses, and further re-defining the core set of iridovirus genes will continue to lead to a better understanding of the phylogenetic relationships between individual irids.

The genome of frog virus 3, an animal DNA virus, is circularly permuted and terminally redundant
TL;DR: It is concluded that the FV3 genome is both circularly permuted and terminally redundant--unique features for an animal virus.

TL;DR: There are at least eight finger proteins and three dimeric and two monomeric zip proteins in one asymmetric unit of the CIV capsid, and these minor proteins appear to stabilize the virus by acting as intercapsomer cross-links.
