Climate warming triggers the emergence of native viruses in Iberian amphibians
Thumsová, Barbora; Price, Stephen J.; González-Cascón, Victoria; Vörös, Judit; Martínez-Silvestre, Albert; Rosa, Gonçalo M.; Machordom, AnnieThe number of epizootics in amphibian populations caused by viruses of the genus Ranavirus is increasing worldwide. Yet, causes for pathogen emergence are poorly understood. Here, we confirmed that the Common midwife toad virus (CMTV) and Frog virus 3 (FV3) are responsible for mass mortalities in Iberia since the late 1980s. Our results illustrate the Iberian Peninsula as a diversity hotspot for the highly viru...
Inside the Redbox: applications of haematology in wildlife monitoring and ecosy...
Maceda-Veiga, Alberto; Figuerola, Jordi; Martínez-Silvestre, Albert; Viscor, Ginés; Ferrari, Nicola; Pacheco, MárioBlood analyses have great potential in studies of ecology, ecotoxicology and veterinary science inwild vertebrates based on advances in human and domestic animalmedicine. The major caveat for field researchers, however, is that the ‘rules’ for human or domestic animal haematology do not always apply towildlife. The present overview shows the strengths and limitations of blood analyses inwild vertebrates, and pr...
