“…Identified ORFs were confirmed using the Genome Annotation Transfer Utility (GATU) (http://www.biovirus.org/), a program that uses previously annotated genomic DNA as a reference for annotating a newly sequenced genomic DNA, using all of the completely sequenced iridoviruses as reference sequences. The iridoviruses used in this analysis were as follows (also see Table 1): ATV (36), FV3 (58), TFV (27), GIV (62), SGIV (53), lymphocystis disease virus 1 (LCDV-1) (60), lymphocystis disease virus China (LCDV-C) (67), infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) (26), orange spotted grouper iridovirus (OSGIV) (40), rock bream iridovirus (RBIV) (15), insect iridovirus 6 (IIV-6) or Chilo iridovirus (CIV) (33), and invertebrate iridovirus 3 (IIV-3) or mosquito iridovirus (MIV) (13). The genome of a soft-shelled turtle ranavirus isolate was published during the preparation of the manuscript (29).…”

Members of the genus Ranavirus (family Iridoviridae) have been recognized as major viral pathogens of cold-blooded vertebrates. Ranaviruses have been associated with amphibians, fish, and reptiles. At this time, the relationships between ranavirus species are still unclear. Previous studies suggested that ranaviruses from salamanders are more closely related to ranaviruses from fish than they are to ranaviruses from other amphibians, such as frogs. Therefore, to gain a better understanding of the relationships among ranavirus isolates, the genome of epizootic hematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV), an Australian fish pathogen, was sequenced. Our findings suggest that the ancestral ranavirus was a fish virus and that several recent host shifts have taken place, with subsequent speciation of viruses in their new hosts. The data suggesting several recent host shifts among ranavirus species increase concern that these pathogens of cold-blooded vertebrates may have the capacity to cross numerous poikilothermic species barriers and the potential to cause devastating disease in their new hosts.

Over the last 30 years, aquaculture has become the fastest growing form of agriculture production in the world, but its development has been hampered by a diverse range of pathogenic viruses. During the last decade, a large number of viruses from aquatic animals have been identified, and more than 100 viral genomes have been sequenced and genetically characterized. These advances are leading to better understanding about antiviral mechanisms and the types of interaction occurring between aquatic viruses and their hosts. Here, based on our research experience of more than 20 years, we review the wealth of genetic and genomic information from studies on a diverse range of aquatic viruses, including iridoviruses, herpesviruses, reoviruses, and rhabdoviruses, and outline some major advances in our understanding of virus-host interactions in animals used in aquaculture.

Iridoviruses of the genus Ranavirus, including frog virus 3 (FV3), soft-shelled turtle iridovirus (STIV), epizootic hematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV), and other viruses can infect amphibians, fish and reptiles [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Sequencing and analysis of the complete genome of Rana grylio virus (RGV)

Infection with Rana grylio virus (RGV), an iridovirus isolated in China in 1995, resulted in a high mortality rate in frogs. The complete genome sequence of RGV was determined and analyzed. The genomic DNA was 105,791 bp long, with 106 open reading frames (ORFs). Dot plot analysis showed that the gene order of RGV shared colinearity with three completely sequenced ranaviruses. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on concatenated sequences of iridovirus 26 core-gene-encoded proteins, and the result showed high bootstrap support for RGV being a member of the genus Ranavirus and that iridoviruses of other genera also clustered closely. A microRNA (miRNA) prediction revealed that RGV could encode 18 mature miRNAs, many of which were located near genes associated with virus replication. Thirty-three repeated sequences were found in the RGV genome. These results provide insight into the genetic nature of RGV and are useful for laboratory diagnosis for vertebrate iridoviruses.
