We are excited to announce the publication of the second edition of Ranaviruses: Emerging Pathogens of Ectothermic Vertebrates, an open-access book now available for download! This updated edition provides the latest comprehensive review of ranavirus research and its impact on global biodiversity.
What’s New in This Edition?
The second edition builds on the first book published in 2015 and incorporates significant advances in the understanding of ranaviruses over the last decade. Emerging from the discussions at the 1st Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease Conference in 2022, this edition reflects the latest research and updates on ranaviral disease, covering topics such as viral replication, immune defenses, and their epidemiological and ecological impacts.
Key Highlights:
Comprehensive Coverage: This remains the only text dedicated solely to ranaviruses, with contributions from leading experts across multiple academic disciplines.
Host Range and Impact: It examines the wide host range of ranaviruses, including amphibians, reptiles, and fish, and discusses the critical biodiversity and economic implications of ranavirus outbreaks.
Anti-Viral Immunity: A focus on the amphibian immune system and its interactions with ranaviruses, offering new insights into immune evasion mechanisms.
Updated Guidance: Guidance on monitoring and managing ranaviruses in ectothermic vertebrates, critical for conservation efforts.
Free Access for All
As part of our commitment to the dissemination of knowledge, the second edition of Ranaviruses is available as an open-access resource. You can download the full book in both PDF and EPUB formats through the following link:
We are thrilled to share this valuable resource with the research and conservation communities and hope it will continue to support important work in the study of ranaviruses and their global impact.
