Susceptibility of the Endangered California Tiger Salamander, Ambystoma californiense, to Ranavirus Infection

Abstract: Emerging infectious diseases are implicated in the declines and extinctions of amphibians worldwide. Ranaviruses in the family Iridoviridae are a global concern and have caused amphibian die-offs in wild populations in North America, Europe, South America, and in commercial populations in Asia and South America. The movement of amphibians for bait, food, pets, and research provides a route for the introduction of ranaviruses into naive and potentially endangered species. In this report, we demonstrate that the… Show more

“…In the lab, the endangered California tiger salamander ( Ambystoma californiense ) is susceptible to ATV and experienced mortality associated with infection (Picco et al 2007 ). There have been no reports of ATV infections or associated mortality in wild California tiger salamanders, probably due in part to the ban on importation of non-native Ambystomatidae into the state.…”

“…If one sample appears positive and the other negative, a third sample can be run and the declaration of infection made based on the majority of the results. Ongoing research (E. Grant, U.S. Geological Survey, and DLM) is estimating detection probabilities of qPCR using the protocol of Picco et al ( 2007 ) and double sampling procedures.…”

“…Ranaviruses cause disease in fish, reptiles and amphibians (Chinchar 2002, Converse & Green 2005, Robert et al 2007. Ranaviruses have been implicated in large-scale die-offs of amphibians in Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas (Converse & Green 2005, Picco et al 2007). In the United States, ranaviruses have been associated with significant amphibian losses in 15 states (Converse & Green 2005).…”
