Ranavirus is a genus of giant viruses ( Nucleocytoviricota , NCLDVs) from the family of Iridoviridae , subfamily Alphairidovirinae . Ranavirus is the only genus in this family whose viruses are contagious to both amphibians and reptiles. Like the other two genera Lymphocystivirus and Megalocytivirus of the Alphairidovirinae subfamily, viruses of the Ranavirus genus can alsoinfect real bony fish (Teleostei).
Effects on ecology
Like the megalocytiviruses, the ranaviruses are a group of closely related dsDNA viruses, the importance of which is increasing. They cause systemic disease in a wide variety of wild and cultivated freshwater and saltwater fish. As with megalocytiviruses, ranavirus outbreaks in aquaculture are of considerable economic importance, as animal diseases can lead to considerable loss or even mass deaths of farmed fish. In contrast to the megalocytiviruses , ranavirus infections in amphibians have been considered as a factor in the global decline in amphibian populations. The influence of ranaviruses on amphibian populations was compared with that of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis , the causative agent of chytridiomycosis . In the UK, disease outbreaks are believed to have increased in severity due to climate change (read: global warming ).
The prefix is derived from the Latin Rana 'frog' and is reminiscent of the first isolation of a ranavirus from the northern leopard frog ( Rana pipiens alias Lithobates pipiens ) in the 1960s.
Hosts
The following reptile species are known to be infected with ranavirus :
- Green tree python ( Morelia viridis a.k.a. Chondropython viridis )
- Burmese tortoise ( Geochelone platynota )
- Leopard tortoise ( Stigmochelys pardalis alias Geochelone pardalis )
- Georgia gopher tortoise ( Gopherus polyphemus )
- Iberian mountain lizard ( Lacerta monticola )
- Carolina box turtle ( Terrapene carolina carolina )
- Florida box turtle ( Terrapene carolina bauri )
- Western box turtle ( Terrapene ornata )
- Moorish tortoise ( Testudo graeca )
- Greek tortoise ( Testudo hermanni )
- Egyptian tortoise ( Testudo kleinmanni )
- Four-toed tortoise aka Russian tortoise ( Testudo horsfieldii )
- Wide-brimmed tortoise ( Testudo marginata )
- Red eared slider turtle ( Trachemys scripta elegans )
- Chinese softshell turtle ( Pelodiscus sinensis alias Trionyx sinensis )
- Leaf- tailed geckos of the species Uroplatus fimbriatus
construction
Ranaviruses are large icosahedral DNA viruses with a diameter of about 150 nm and an unsegmented linear dsDNA genome of about 105 kbp . There are about 100 genes coding for proteins .
The genome of Frog virus 3 is 105,903 bp in length and is expected to encode 99 proteins.
Propagation cycle
The replication of the Ranaviruses has been well studied in the type species Frog virus 3 (FV3). FV3 replicates at 12 to 32 ° C. Ranaviruses enter the host cell through receptor-mediated endocytosis . The virus particles (virions) are uncoated and, after penetrating the endocytosis, migrate into the cell nucleus , where viral DNA replication begins via a virus-encoded DNA polymerase . The virus DNA then leaves the cell nucleus and the second stage of DNA replication in the cytoplasm begins , with DNA concatemers being ultimately formed. The viral DNA is then packaged into infectious virions. As in other Iridoviridae, the genome of Ranavirus has terminally redundant DNA.
Ranavirus is thought to be transmitted through several routes including contaminated soil, direct contact, exposure to water, and ingestion of infected tissue during hunting , necrophagy, or cannibalism . Ranaviruses are relatively stable in water and can persist for several weeks or longer outside of a host organism.
evolution
The ranaviruses appear to have evolved from a fish virus that subsequently infected amphibians and reptiles.
