商品描述

This is a open access book. Ranaviruses, double-stranded DNA viruses (family Iridoviridae) that cause systemic, life-threatening disease in a variety of amphibians, reptiles and fish, have contributed to mass die-offs of both wild and captive populations around the globe. These viruses are emerging and increasingly responsible for population declines of ectothermic vertebrates. Because amphibians, reptiles, and freshwater turtles are suitable hosts and among the most imperiled vertebrate taxa in the world, ranaviruses can have significant impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function. Additionally, many fish that are raised in aquaculture facilities and traded internationally are suitable hosts; thus, the potential economic impact of ranaviruses is significant. Ranaviruses also serve as a model for understanding viral replication and gene function among large double-stranded DNA viruses, e.g., poxviruses, asfarvirus, and ascoviruses. Lastly, study of the host immune response to ranaviral disease and the identification of viral immune evasion genes that negatively regulate host immune functions provide insight into which specific immune elements are most important in protecting host species against severe disease.

The effort to produce a 2nd edition of our earlier work grew out of a recent meeting (1st Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease Conference) held in August 2022. Given the continued research in ranaviruses and ranaviral disease since the first edition, this new book updates the latest information on ranaviruses and provides guidance on how to monitor and manage ranaviruses in cold-blooded vertebrate populations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一本開放存取的書籍。Ranaviruses（雙鏈DNA病毒，屬於家族Iridoviridae）會在多種兩棲類、爬蟲類和魚類中引起系統性、危及生命的疾病，並導致全球野生及圈養族群的大規模死亡。這些病毒正在出現，並日益成為變溫脊椎動物族群下降的主要原因。由於兩棲類、爬蟲類和淡水龜是適合的宿主，且在全球脊椎動物分類中屬於最受威脅的類群，ranaviruses對生物多樣性和生態系統功能可能產生重大影響。此外，許多在水產養殖設施中飼養並進行國際貿易的魚類也是適合的宿主；因此，ranaviruses的潛在經濟影響是顯著的。Ranaviruses還作為理解大型雙鏈DNA病毒（例如，痘病毒、非洲豬瘟病毒和腺病毒）中病毒複製和基因功能的模型。最後，對宿主免疫反應對ranaviral疾病的研究以及識別負面調節宿主免疫功能的病毒免疫逃逸基因，提供了對於哪些特定免疫元素在保護宿主物種免受嚴重疾病影響中最為重要的見解。

我們早期工作的第二版的製作努力源於2022年8月舉行的第一次全球兩棲類和爬蟲類疾病會議。鑒於自第一版以來對ranaviruses和ranaviral疾病的持續研究，這本新書更新了有關ranaviruses的最新資訊，並提供了如何監測和管理變溫脊椎動物族群中ranaviruses的指導。
