Objectives Because the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in aerosols but failure to isolate viable
(infectious) virus are commonly reported, there is substantial controversy whether severe …

Since the mid-1990s, lethal infections of koi herpesvirus (KHV) have been spreading,
threatening the worldwide production of common carp and koi (both Cyprinus carpio). The …

The sequences of four complete genes were analysed in order to determine the relatedness
of koi herpesvirus (KHV) to three fish viruses in the family Herpesviridae: carp pox …

Members of the family Herpesviridae have enveloped, spherical virions with characteristic
complex structures consisting of symmetrical and non-symmetrical components. The linear, …

… Experimental transmission of the 2009 isolate recreated the same high-mortality disease
in naïve juvenile pallid sturgeon following bath exposure (Waltzek et al. 2014). Furthermore …

The Iridoviridae is a family of large, icosahedral viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes
ranging in size from 103 to 220 kbp. Members of the subfamily Alphairidovirinae infect …

We characterized prey-capture strategies in seven species of cichlid fishes representing
diverse trophic habits and anticipated feeding abilities. The species examined were Petenia …

Phylogenetic relationships among herpesviruses (HVs) of mammals, birds, and reptiles have
been studied extensively, whereas those among other HVs are relatively unexplored. We …

Three alloherpesviruses are known to cause disease in cyprinid fish: cyprinid herpesviruses
1 and 3 (CyHV1 and CyHV3) in common carp and koi and cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV2) …

Marine mammals evoke strong public affection as well as considerable scientific interest.
However, the resultant close contact with marine wildlife poses human health risks, including …
