Genome Sequences of Three Koi Herpesvirus Isolates Representing the Expanding Distribution of an Emerging Disease Threatening Koi and Common Carp Worldwide
- T. Aoki, I. Hirono, +7 authors R. Hedrick
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 28 February 2007
ABSTRACT 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 complete genome… Expand
Evaluating the use of ram and suction during prey capture by cichlid fishes.
- P. Wainwright, L. Ferry-Graham, T. Waltzek, A. M. Carroll, C. D. Hulsey, J. Grubich
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental biology
- 1 September 2001
We characterized prey-capture strategies in seven species of cichlid fishes representing diverse trophic habits and anticipated feeding abilities. The species examined were Petenia splendida, Cichla… Expand

Phylogenetic relationships among herpesviruses (HVs) of mammals, birds, and reptiles have been studied extensively, whereas those among other HVs are relatively unexplored. We have reconstructed the… Expand
Koi herpesvirus represents a third cyprinid herpesvirus (CyHV-3) in the family Herpesviridae.
- T. Waltzek, G. O. Kelley, +7 authors R. Hedrick
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of general virology
- 1 June 2005
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 herpesvirus (Cyprinid… Expand
Distribution and Host Range of Ranaviruses
- A. Duffus, T. Waltzek, +6 authors R. Marschang
- Biology
- 2015
Ranaviruses are globally distributed pathogens in amphibian, fish, and reptile communities that appear to be emerging. Cases of ranavirus infection or disease have been confirmed in at least 105… Expand
Comparative Genomics of Carp Herpesviruses
- A. Davison, Tomofumi Kurobe, +5 authors T. Waltzek
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 26 December 2012
ABSTRACT 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) in goldfish.… Expand
Do habitat shifts drive diversification in teleost fishes? An example from the pufferfishes (Tetraodontidae)
- F. Santini, M. Nguyen, +4 authors M. Alfaro
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of evolutionary biology
- 1 May 2013
Habitat shifts are implicated as the cause of many vertebrate radiations, yet relatively few empirical studies quantify patterns of diversification following colonization of new habitats in fishes.… Expand
Transmission of Ranavirus between Ectothermic Vertebrate Hosts
- R. Brenes, M. Gray, T. Waltzek, R. Wilkes, D. Miller
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 25 March 2014
Transmission is an essential process that contributes to the survival of pathogens. Ranaviruses are known to infect different classes of lower vertebrates including amphibians, fishes and reptiles.… Expand
Susceptibility of Koi Carp, Common Carp, Goldfish, and Goldfish × Common Carp Hybrids to Cyprinid Herpesvirus-2 and Herpesvirus-3
- R. P. Hedrick, T. Waltzek, T. McDowell
- Biology
- 1 March 2006
Abstract Hybrid goldfish (male goldfish Carassius auratus × female common carp Cyprinus carpio) were completely resistant to mortality following experimental infections with cyprinid herpesvirus-2… Expand
