R. of China 5West Pomeranian Technical University, Aquaculture, K. Królewicza 4, 71-550, Szczecin, Poland Abstract Most diseases induced by herpesviruses are host-specific; however, exceptions exist within the family Alloherpesviridae. Most members of the Alloherpesviridae are detected in at least two different species, with and without clinical signs of a disease. In the current study the Koi herpesvirus (KHV) was used as a model member of the Alloherpesviridae and rainbow trout as a model salmonid host, which were infected with KHV by immersion. KHV was detected using direct methods (qPCR and semi-nested PCR) and indirect (enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay; ELISA, serum neutralization test; SNT). The non-koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD)-susceptible salmonid fish were demonstrated to transfer KHV to naïve carp at two different temperatures including a temperature most suitable for the salmonid (15°C) and cyprinid (20°C). -

Acta Arachnologica, 49 (2): 125-131, December 15, 2000 New Records of Five Orb-web Spiders of the Genera Leucauge, Mesida, and Eriovixia (Araneae: Tetragnathidae and Araneidae) from Taiwan I-Min Tso 1 and Akio Tanikawa2 1 Department of Biology, Tunghai University, Taichung 407, Taiwan, R.O. C 2 Shichirigahama Senior High School, 2-3-1, Shichirigahama-higashi, Kamakura-shi, Kanagawa 248-0025 Japan E-mail• dp7a-tnkw@ j.asahi-net.or.jp Abstract - Five orb-weaving species of the families Tetragnathidae and Araneidae are newly recorded from Taiwan. These include tetragnatid species Leucauge argentina (Hasselt 1882), L. tessellata (Thorell 1887), Mesida gemmea Hasselt 1882 and araneid species Eriovixia excelsa (Simon 1889), E. sakiedaorum Tanikawa 1999. The tetragnathid genus Mesida is recorded from Taiwan for the first time. The morphology of these five orb-weaving species are described and illustrated, and the synonyms and distribution accounts are given in this paper. Key words - Eriovixia excelsa, Eriovixia sakiedaorum, Leucauge argentina, Leucauge tessel- lata, Mesida gemmea, Taiwan, new records Introduction Among around three hundred species of spiders recorded from Taiwan (Chen 1996), ecribellate orb-weavers (family Araneidae and Tetragnathidae) have received relatively greater attention. Although census methods such as pitfall trapping have been gradually adopted in the current investigation of Taiwanese spider fauna, in the past few decades most of the collections were performed by visual inspection. With this method, orb-weaving spiders are easier to be located and collected than other Araneae taxa, because orb web construction not only makes the spiders more conspicuous, but also restricts their movement (Robinson & Robinson 1974). -

viruses Article Discovery and Characterization of Actively Replicating DNA and Retro-Transcribing Viruses in Lower Vertebrate Hosts Based on RNA Sequencing Xin-Xin Chen, Wei-Chen Wu and Mang Shi * School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen 518107, China; [email protected] (X.-X.C.); [email protected] (W.-C.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In a previous study, a metatranscriptomics survey of RNA viruses in several important lower vertebrate host groups revealed huge viral diversity, transforming the understanding of the evolution of vertebrate-associated RNA virus groups. However, the diversity of the DNA and retro-transcribing viruses in these host groups was left uncharacterized. Given that RNA sequencing is capable of revealing viruses undergoing active transcription and replication, we collected previously generated datasets associated with lower vertebrate hosts, and searched them for DNA and retro-transcribing viruses. Our results revealed the complete genome, or “core gene sets”, of 18 vertebrate-associated DNA and retro-transcribing viruses in cartilaginous fishes, ray- finned fishes, and amphibians, many of which had high abundance levels, and some of which showed systemic infections in multiple organs, suggesting active transcription or acute infection within the host. Furthermore, these new findings recharacterized the evolutionary history in the families Hepadnaviridae, Papillomaviridae, and Alloherpesviridae, confirming long-term virus–host codivergence relationships for these virus groups. -

www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Bufonid herpesvirus 1 (BfHV1) associated dermatitis and mortality in free ranging common toads Received: 19 January 2018 Accepted: 17 September 2018 (Bufo bufo) in Switzerland Published: xx xx xxxx Francesco C. Origgi1, Benedikt R. Schmidt 2,3, Petra Lohmann4, Patricia Otten5, Roman K. Meier1, Simone R. R. Pisano1, Gaia Moore-Jones1, Marco Tecilla6, Ursula Sattler1, Thomas Wahli1, Veronique Gaschen7 & Michael H. Stofel7 Here we report the discovery and partial characterization of a novel herpesvirus tentatively named Bufonid herpesvirus 1 (BfHV1) from severe dermatitis in free ranging common toads (Bufo bufo) in Switzerland. The disease has been observed in toads every year since 2014, in spring, during the mating season, at diferent and distant locations. The virus is found in the skin and occasionally in the brain of infected toads. The genome of the virus is at least 158 Kb long and contains at least 152 open reading frames with a minimal length of 270 nt. The genome of BfHV1 contains all the signature genes that are present in alloherpesviruses. Phylogenetic analysis based on the amino acid sequence of the DNA polymerase and terminase proteins positions the novel virus among the members of the genus Batrachovirus, family Alloherpesviridae. This is the frst herpesvirus ever characterized in common toads. Amphibians are undergoing a major decline worldwide1,2. Te reasons for this unprecedented loss in biodiversity are only partially understood3. Among potential contributors, infectious diseases have recently raised attention as important players4,5. In addition to well-characterized amphibian pathogens including chytrids6–9 and rana- viruses5,10,11, it is likely that other pathogens or putative pathogens, whose role in amphibian disease ecology is basically unknown, though not irrelevant, are still to be discovered and better investigated12. -
