Genome sequence of a crustacean iridovirus, IIV31, isolated from the pill bug, Armadillidium vulgare.

Piégu B1, Guizard S, Yeping T, Cruaud C, Asgari S, Bideshi DK, Federici BA, Bigot Y.Author information 1UMR INRA-CNRS 7247, Centre INRA Val de Loire, France;AbstractMembers of the family Iridoviridae are animal viruses that infect only invertebrates and poikilothermic vertebrates. The invertebrate iridovirus 31 (IIV31) was originally isolated from pill bug adults of Armadillidium vulgare (class Crustacea, order Isopoda, sub-order Oniscidea) found in Southern California on the campus of the University of California, Riverside. IIV31 virions are icosahedral, have a diameter of about 135 nm, and contain a dsDNA genome of 220.22 kbp in length, 35.09 % GC content and 203 open reading frames. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of this virus and its annotation. This is the eighth genome sequence of an invertebrate iridovirus reported.

Electronic address: yves.bigot@tours.inra.fr.AbstractMembers of the family Iridoviridae are animal viruses that infect only invertebrates and poikilothermic vertebrates. The invertebrate iridovirus 30 (IIV30) was originally isolated from a larva of the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (order lepidoptera, Family Noctuidae) in western Australia. The IIV30 virions are icosahedral, have a diameter of about 130nm, and contain a dsDNA genome of 198.5kbp with 28.11% in GC content and 177 coding sequences. Here we describe its complete genome sequence and annotate the genes for which we could assign a putative function. This is the sixth genome sequence of an invertebrate iridovirus reported.

Non-lethal sampling of liver tissue for toxicologic evaluation of Florida cottonmouths snakes, Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti.

Quesada RJ1, McCleary RJ, Heard DJ, Lillywhite HB.Author information 1Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, 2015 SW 16th Ave, PO Box 100126, Gainesville, FL, 32610-0126, USA, rolandoqu@yahoo.com.AbstractDue to their longevity, strong site tenure, poikilothermic metabolism, and low-energy specializations, reptiles might serve as excellent environmental sentinels. Cottonmouth snakes are generalist predators and scavengers, and as such, may have higher exposure to persistent environmental contaminants as a result of bioaccumulation. Traditionally, assessment and monitoring of contaminant exposure in reptiles have involved lethal sampling techniques. In this paper, we describe a non-destructive technique for sampling liver tissue in live anesthetized Florida cottonmouths. Wild-caught snakes (n = 21) were anesthetized with propofol, and a liver wedge biopsy was obtained by clamping the edge of the organ with two small hemostatic mosquito forceps via right-sided coeliotomy incision. A minimum required tissue sample weighing >100 mg was harvested from all except one of the animals. No mortalities occurred during the procedures or recovery from anesthesia, and all snakes were released back into the field after the animal had consumed prey and defecated, usually within 2 weeks following surgery. Hemorrhage was a minor complication in most snakes, especially those with friable discolored livers. The procedure appeared to have no short-term deleterious effects, and two biopsied individuals were captured after being released into the field and appeared to be normal and healthy. However, follow-up studies and recapture of more snakes are needed to assess long-term survivability. Our non-destructive liver sampling technique might be implemented in toxicological studies of other squamates and could help to minimize the lethal sampling of threatened species.

… The seasonal change of these dehydrogenase activities coincided with that of the hepatopancreas and body fat content, suggesting that the decrease in environmental temperature in autumn causes an activation of the pentosephosphate cycle dehydrogenases to accelerate fatty acid synthesis in spite of a lower feeding rate, resulting in marked accumulation of body fat in early winter in the poikilothermic animal. …
