Iridoviridae

The Iridoviridae train a family of the Virus with DNA which causes necrose hematopoietic epizootic. These viruses keys all the vertebrate one but mainly the aquatic animals Poïkilotherme like the Poisson S, the Amphibien S. This virus make party of the diseases émergeantes, all the ecosystems are not concerned, but the virus extends so that prophylactic measurements is taken. These viruses involve extremely important death rates at the time the epidemic starts.

It is thought that some of between-them are responsible or Co-persons in charge of death rate extremely high and localized of Amphibians such as for example on a species of salamander in 1995-1996 placing it in danger of extinction. In 1998, Iridovirus caused the death of striped salamander and Rana sylvatica in Saskatchewan and of striped Salamanders to the Manitoba.

Research on these viruses is stimulated by the threats which it makes weighed on the Amphibians. The displacement of specimens of Amphibians or fish, even on a purely conservatory basis thus becomes dangerous.

Description

The genome with a symmetrical structure isocaedric and measures of 130 is 180 Nm length.

Taxonomy

The name of this family derives from the name of the Greek goddess Iris. This family recuts the kinds:
  • Chloriridovirus which touches the insects of which the mosquitos
  • Iridovirus which touch vertebrate the Poïkilotherme S (fish, Amphibians)
  • Lymphocystivirus which touches the fish
  • Megalocytivirus
  • Ranavirus which touch the Amphibians
