Abstract
A ranavirus (RV) was isolated from Chinese giant salamanders (Andrias davidianus) in China in 2010 and provisionally designated Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV). The complete genome sequence is 106,719 nucleotides long. Genomic sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that ADRV has a high degree of conservation with other RVs.
Highlights
A ranavirus (RV) was isolated from Chinese giant salamanders (Andrias davidianus) in China in 2010 and provisionally designated Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV)
One of the genera of the Iridoviridae family, is recognized as causing an emerging infectious disease that is included in the list of notifiable diseases by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)
In July 2010, an RV was isolated from diseased Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus), which is one of the world’s largest amphibian species and is classified as critically endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources; this virus was provisionally designated Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV) (2)
Summary
A ranavirus (RV) was isolated from Chinese giant salamanders (Andrias davidianus) in China in 2010 and provisionally designated Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV). Ranavirus (RV) infections have been associated with mass mortalities of several amphibian, reptile, and fish species worldwide (1). In July 2010, an RV was isolated from diseased Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus), which is one of the world’s largest amphibian species and is classified as critically endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources; this virus was provisionally designated Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV) (2).
