Turkeypox virus, like other Avipoxviruses, is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus with a large, linear genome of approximately 300 kilobytes in size. [6] The central region of the genome contains at least 90–100 homologous genes that are involved in viral replication, and these genes are generally relatively conserved among Poxviruses. [6]

Excessive shedding of skin is seen in most frog species affected by B. dendrobatidis. [6] [26] These pieces of shed skin are described as opaque, gray-white, and tan. [6] Some of these patches of skin are also found adhered to the skin of the amphibians. [6] These signs of infection are often seen 12–15 days following exposure. [20]
The world’s frogs, salamanders, newts and other amphibians remain in serious trouble. A new global assessment has found that 41% of amphibian species that scientists have studied are threatened ...
Disease is described as a decrease in performance of normal functions of an individual caused by many factors, which is not limited to infectious agents. [1] Furthermore, wildlife disease is a disease when one of the hosts includes a wildlife species. In many cases, wildlife hosts can act as a reservoir of diseases that spillover into domestic ...
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is a pathogenic chytrid fungus that infects amphibian species. Although salamanders and newts seem to be the most susceptible, some anuran species are also affected. Bsal has emerged recently and poses a major threat to species in Europe and North America.
Wild and domestic turkeys are genetically the same species, but selective breeding makes them dissimilar. In the air, wild turkeys can fly and have a top-flight speed of about 55 miles per hour ...
Distributed worldwide, E. rhusiopathiae is primarily considered an animal pathogen, causing the disease known as erysipelas that may affect a wide range of animals. Pigs, turkeys and laying hens are most commonly affected, but cases have been reported in other mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. [1] In pigs, the disease is known as diamond skin ...
