Ranaviruses were isolated from wild edible frogs () during epizootics in Denmark and Italy. Phylogenomic analyses revealed that these isolates are closely related and belong to a clade of ranaviruses that includes the ranavirus (ADRV), common midwife toad ranavirus (CMTV), ranavirus (THRV), and pike-perch iridovirus (PPIV).

Frog virus 3-like ranaviruses (FV3-like viruses), particularly FV3 (Frog virus 3), represent typical species within the genus Ranavirus, primarily infecting amphibians and reptiles, thereby posing serious threats to aquaculture and biodiversity conservation. We designed a pair of universal primers and a probe targeting the conserved region of the major capsid protein (MCP) genes of FV3-like viruses. By integrating recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) technology and real-time fluorescence (RF) modification, we established RAA-LFD and RF-RAA assays.

Article Synopsis
- Exposure to pathogens can trigger behavioral changes that influence the spread of diseases, with healthy individuals practicing social distancing and infected individuals potentially isolating themselves.
- In a study of agile frog juveniles, both healthy and infected frogs avoided mingling with infected peers, which may help reduce disease transmission.
- However, infected frogs did not show self-isolation, which could allow the disease to spread further; more research is needed to understand these dynamics in amphibians.

Article Synopsis
- Members of the family and genus mentioned are important emerging pathogens affecting both ecology and the economy.
- In 2017, a die-off of wood and boreal chorus frogs in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park was linked to a newly identified ranavirus (RSR) with a significant genetic similarity to the well-known frog virus 3 (FV3).
- The study emphasizes the relevance of detailed viral genomic analysis, especially for understanding the distribution and genetic traits that influence how these viruses may infect different host species and cause disease.
A droplet digital PCR assay to detect Chinese rice-field eels rhabdovirus.

Chinese rice-field eels rhabdovirus (CrERV) causes haemorrhagic disease in Chinese rice-field eels (Monopterus albus), leading to significant mortality and economic losses. Sensitive detection of CrERV nucleic acids is essential to control the spread of this pathogen and to treat infected individuals. Herein, we developed an efficient and sensitive droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method to rapidly detect and quantify CrERV.

Exocyst, a protein complex, plays a crucial role in various cellular functions, including cell polarization, migration, invasion, cytokinesis, and autophagy. Sec3, known as Exoc1, is a key subunit of the Exocyst complex and can be involved in cell survival and apoptosis. In this study, two subtypes of Sec3 were isolated from Epinephelus coioides, an important marine fish in China.
