The conclusion that at least some of these mutations occurred in vivo prompts the hypothesis that loss of gene functions might be associated with emergence of the disease and provides a basis for further investigations into the molecular epidemiology of the virus.

FV3 is the type species of the genus Ranavirus, and appears to be the most globally distributed species infecting ectothermic taxonomic across three vertebrate classes.
Viable SARS-CoV-2 in the air of a hospital room with COVID-19 patients

Patients with respiratory manifestations of COVID-19 produce aerosols in the absence of aerosol-generating procedures that contain viable SARS-CoV-2, and these aerosols may serve as a source of transmission of the virus.
Evaluating the use of ram and suction during prey capture by cichlid fishes.

Diversity in prey-capture behavior was found to reflect differences among species in the strategy used to approach prey, interpreted as the result of an expected exponential decline in water velocity with distance from the mouth of the suction-feeding predator.

A comparison of virus and host phylogenies suggested that closely related HVs in this family may have coevolved with their hosts, whereas significant codiversification was not apparent for the more distantly related viruses.
Comparative Genomics of Carp Herpesviruses

- 26 December 2012
One family unique to CyHV1 is related to cellular JUNB, which encodes a transcription factor involved in oncogenesis, the first time thatJUNB-related sequences have been reported in a herpesvirus.
Koi herpesvirus represents a third cyprinid herpesvirus (CyHV-3) in the family Herpesviridae.

- Biology, Environmental ScienceJournal of General Virology
- 1 June 2005
Findings indicate that KHV should join the group of related lower-vertebrate viruses in the family Herpesviridae under the formal designation Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3).
Do habitat shifts drive diversification in teleost fishes? An example from the pufferfishes (Tetraodontidae)
- F. Santini, M. T. Nguyen, M. Alfaro

- 1 May 2013
Results suggest that ecological opportunity afforded by novel habitats may be limited for pufferfishes due to competition with other species, constraints relating to pufferfish life history and trophic ecology, and other factors.
Fecal bacterial communities of wildâcaptured and stranded green turtles (Chelonia mydas) on the Great Barrier Reef

The marked differences in the bacterial communities between wildâcaptured and stranded turtles suggest the possible dysbiosis in stranded turtles in addition to potential causal agents, and the importance of these bacteria in turtle gut health.
