ranavirus การใช้

• Emerging infectious diseases, including chytridiomycosis and ranavirus, are also devastating populations.
• In recent years populations have also declined with an epizootic " Ranavirus " infection.
• Members of the Lymphocystivirus, Megalocytivirus, and Ranavirus genera have genomes with about 25 % of their cytosine residues methylated by a virally encoded DNA methyltransferase.
• Research by the London-based Institute of Zoology, to be published later this week, has found that the disease is caused by a ranavirus, which affects amphibians and fish but not mammals, Langton said.
• The genus " Ranavirus " is composed of 6 recognized viral species, 3 of which are known to infect amphibians ( Ambystoma tigrinum virus ( ATV ), Bohle iridovirus ( BIV ), and frog virus 3 ).
