Dear Matt and all friends:
 
Wish you and all have a wonderful New Year!!
 
Here are several published papers in 2015 about the Chinese giant salamander iridovirus from our Lab, hope they may help to our GRC group. The attached files are the PDF version of the papers. In addition, we are woking on the development of giant salamander immune system right now from the fertilized egg to larve , yearling and adult fish, we believe this guy may have a very interesting defense system. So any help with us from our GCR members will be greatly appreciated.
