<i>Andrias davidianus</i> Ranavirus (ADRV) Genome Replicate Efficiently by Engaging Cellular Mismatch Repair Protein MSH2 by Fei Ke, Renbao Wang, Zihao Wang, Qiya Zhang

“…We have described that the replication and transcription machinery of <i>Andrias davidianus</i> ranavirus (ADRV) which was isolated from the Chinese giant salamander contained host factors. Here, a new host factor, the MutS homolog 2 (MSH2), was proved as an important protein that participated in ADRV infection. …”

Molecular basis of pathogenesis of emerging viruses infecting aquatic animals by Lang Gui, V. Gregory Chinchar, Qiya Zhang

“…However, emergent and resurgent viruses, such as ranavirus (e.g., Rana grylio virus, RGV and Andriasd avidianus ranavirus, ADRV), herpesvirus (e.g., Carassius carassius herpesvirus, CaHV), reovirus (e.g., grass carp reovirus 109, GCRV-109, Scophthal musmaximus reovirus, SMReV and Micropterus salmoides reovirus, MsReV), and rhabdovirus (e.g., Siniper cachuatsi rhabdovirus, SCRV and Scophthal musmaximus rhabdovirus, SMRV) can cause severe diseases in aquaculture animals and wild lower vertebrates, such as frogs, giant salamanders, fish, and so on. Here, we will briefly describe the symptoms produced by the aforementioned viruses and the molecular basis of the virus–host interactions. …”
