Ranavirus is a genus of viruses in the family Iridoviridae . [1] There are six other genera of viruses within the family Iridoviridae , but Ranavirus is the only one that includes viruses that are infectious to amphibians and reptiles. Additionally, it is one of the three genera within this family which infect teleost fishes, along with Lymphocystivirus and Megalocytivirus . [2]

Contents

Ecological impact

The Ranaviruses, like the Megalocytiviruses, are an emerging group of closely related dsDNA viruses which cause systemic infections in a wide variety of wild and cultured fresh and saltwater fishes. As with Megalocytiviruses, Ranavirus outbreaks are therefore of considerable economic importance in aquaculture, as epizootics can result in moderate fish loss or mass mortality events of cultured fishes. Unlike Megalocytiviruses, however, Ranavirus infections in amphibians have been implicated as a contributing factor in the global decline of amphibian populations. [3] [4] The impact of Ranaviruses on amphibian populations has been compared to the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis , the causative agent of chytridiomycosis. [5] [6] [7] In the UK, the severity of disease outbreaks is thought to have increased due to climate change. [8]

Etymology

Rana is derived from the Latin for "frog", [9] reflecting the first isolation of a Ranavirus in 1960s from the Northern leopard frog ( Lithobates pipiens ). [10] [11] [12]

Evolution

VOA report about Ranavirus

The ranaviruses appear to have evolved from a fish virus which subsequently infected amphibians and reptiles. [13]

Taxonomy

The genus contains the following species: [24]

The family Iridoviridae is divided into seven genera which include Chloriridovirus , Iridovirus , Lymphocystivirus , Megalocytivirus , and Ranavirus. [1] The genus Ranavirus contains three viruses known to infect amphibians (Ambystoma tigrinum virus (ATV), Bohle iridovirus (BIV), and frog virus 3). [25]

Structure

Ranaviruses are large icosahedral DNA viruses measuring approximately 150 nm in diameter with a large single linear dsDNA genome of roughly 105 kbp [26] which codes for around 100 gene products. [27] The main structural component of the protein capsid is the major capsid protein (MCP).

Replication

Ranaviral replication is well studied using Frog virus 3 (FV3). [25] [26] Replication of FV3 occurs between 12 and 32 degrees Celsius. [27] Ranaviruses enter the host cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis. [28] Viral particles are uncoated and subsequently move into the cell nucleus, where viral DNA replication begins via a virally encoded DNA polymerase. [29] Viral DNA then abandons the cell nucleus and begins the second stage of DNA replication in the cytoplasm, ultimately forming DNA concatemers. [29] The viral DNA is then packaged via a headful mechanism into infectious virions. [25] The ranavirus genome, like other iridoviral genomes is circularly permuted and exhibits terminally redundant DNA. [29] There is evidence that ranavirus infections target macrophages as a mechanism for gaining entry to cells. [30]

DNA repair

Andrias davidianus ranavirus, isolated from the Chinese giant salamander, encodes a protein (Rad2 homolog) that has a key role in the repair of DNA by homologous recombination and in DNA double-strand break repair. [31]

Transmission

Transmission of ranaviruses is thought to occur by multiple routes, including contaminated soil, direct contact, waterborne exposure, and ingestion of infected tissues during predation, necrophagy or cannibalism. [11] [32] Ranaviruses are relatively stable in aquatic environments, persisting several weeks or longer outside a host organism. [11]

Epizoology

Amphibian mass mortality events due to Ranavirus have been reported in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. [11] Ranaviruses have been isolated from wild populations of amphibians in Australia, but have not been associated with mass mortality on that continent. [11] [33] [34]

Pathogenesis

Synthesis of viral proteins begins within hours of viral entry [27] with necrosis or apoptosis occurring as early as a few hours post infection. [26] [35]

Seasonal disease dynamics

There are several hypotheses for seasonal outbreak patterns observed for Ranavirosis mortality events. [36] Ranaviruses grow in vitro between 8-30 °C, however for most isolates, warmer temperature result in faster viral replication. [36] A combination of this optimal growth temperature along with shifts in larval amphibian susceptibility result in seasonal outbreak events most often observed during warm summer months. [37] Amphibian mortality events are often observed as larval amphibians reach late Gosner stages approaching metamorphosis. [38] As larval amphibians reach metamorphic stages of development, their immune system is reorganized prior to the development of adult tissues. [39] During this time period, amphibians are stressed, and their immune systems are down regulated. This decrease in immune function and warmer environmental temperatures allows for greater viral replication and cellular damage to occur. Across 64 mortality events in the United States 54% were found to occur between June-August. [37]

Environmental persistence

The environmental persistence of Ranaviruses is not understood well, however in realistic environmental conditions the T90 value of an FV3-like virus is 1 day. [40] The duration of persistence is likely affected by temperature and microbial conditions. It is unlikely that ranaviruses persist in the environment outside of host species between outbreak events. Researchers have explored several pathogen reservoirs for the virus which might explain how the virus can persist within an amphibian community. In some amphibian populations, sub-clinically infected individuals may serve as reservoirs for the pathogen. [6] These sub-clinically infected individuals are responsible for reintroduction of the virus to the larval population. With ranaviruses being capable of infected multiple taxa, and with there being differences in susceptibility between taxa, it is likely that sympatric fish and reptile species may serve as reservoirs for virus as well. Interclass transmission has been proven through the use of mesocosm studies. [41]

Gross pathology

Gross lesions associated with Ranavirus infection include erythema, generalized swelling, hemorrhage, limb swelling, and swollen and friable livers. [11]

Herpes simplex virus1 and 2, also known by their taxonomic names Human alphaherpesvirus 1 and Human alphaherpesvirus 2, are two members of the human Herpesviridae family, a set of viruses that produce viral infections in the majority of humans. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are very common and contagious. They can be spread when an infected person begins shedding the virus.

Phycodnaviridae is a family of large (100–560 kb) double-stranded DNA viruses that infect marine or freshwater eukaryotic algae. Viruses within this family have a similar morphology, with an icosahedral capsid. As of 2014, there were 33 species in this family, divided among 6 genera. This family belongs to a super-group of large viruses known as nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. Evidence was published in 2014 suggesting that specific strains of Phycodnaviridae might infect humans rather than just algal species, as was previously believed. Most genera under this family enter the host cell by cell receptor endocytosis and replicate in the nucleus. Phycodnaviridae play important ecological roles by regulating the growth and productivity of their algal hosts. Algal species such Heterosigma akashiwo and the genus Chrysochromulina can form dense blooms which can be damaging to fisheries, resulting in losses in the aquaculture industry. Heterosigma akashiwo virus (HaV) has been suggested for use as a microbial agent to prevent the recurrence of toxic red tides produced by this algal species. Phycodnaviridae cause death and lysis of freshwater and marine algal species, liberating organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus into the water, providing nutrients for the microbial loop.

<i>Iridoviridae</i> Family of viruses

Iridoviridae is a family of viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes. Amphibians, fish, and invertebrates such as arthropods serve as natural hosts. There are currently 22 species in this family, divided among two subfamilies and seven genera.

Animal viruses are viruses that infect animals. Viruses infect all cellular life and although viruses infect every animal, plant, fungus and protist species, each has its own specific range of viruses that often infect only that species.

Viruses within this genus have been found to infect mosquito larvae, in which they produce various iridescent colors.

Batravirus ranidallo1, also known as Ranid herpesvirus 1 (RaHV-1), is a double-stranded DNA virus within the order Herpesvirales. The virus was initially observed within renal tumors in 1934 by Baldwin Lucké, and more recently has become identifiable through the use of PCR in samples isolated from frog tumors. RaHV-1 causes renal tumors within the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens. The virus has not yet been isolated in vitro within cell lines, meaning that while its existence and symptoms are fairly evident, its methods of transmission, cell infection, and reproduction are largely unknown.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Marine viruses</span> Viruses found in marine environments

Marine viruses are defined by their habitat as viruses that are found in marine environments, that is, in the saltwater of seas or oceans or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. Viruses are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the living cells of a host organism, because they need the replication machinery of the host to do so. They can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.

Nucleocytoviricota is a phylum of viruses. Members of the phylum are also known as the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV), which serves as the basis of the name of the phylum with the suffix -viricota for virus phylum. These viruses are referred to as nucleocytoplasmic because they are often able to replicate in both the host's cell nucleus and cytoplasm.
