Case report: ranavirus infections in captive eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) in Japan [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceRanaviruses are broad host-range pathogens that cause fatal infections in ectothermic vertebrates, including fish, amphibians, and reptiles and are considered emerging infectious diseases. This report describes a case of ranavirus infection identified at

Ranavirus and helminth parasite co-infection in invasive American bullfrogs in the Atlantic forest, Brazil [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeEmerging infectious diseases threaten amphibian species across the globe. In Brazil, the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana) is a highly invasive species that can potentially transmit parasites and pathogens to native amphibians.

Investigation of Amphibian Mortality Events in Wildlife Reveals an On-Going Ranavirus Epidemic in the North of the Netherlands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In the four years following the first detection of ranavirus (genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae) infection in Dutch wildlife in 2010, amphibian mortality events were investigated nationwide to detect, characterize and map ranaviruses in amphibians ...

First Report of Endemic Frog Virus 3 (FV3)-like Ranaviruses in the Korean Clawed Salamander (Onychodactylus koreanus) in Asia [PDF]
VirusesFrog virus 3 (FV3) in the genus Ranavirus of the family Iridoviridae causes mass mortality in both anurans and urodeles worldwide; however, the phylogenetic origin of FV3-like ranaviruses is not well established.

Testing the Population‐Level Effects of Stress‐Induced Susceptibility in the Ranavirus–Wood Frog System [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionChronic exposure to physical, chemical, and biotic stressors can make animals more susceptible to infections. Such stress‐induced susceptibility is widely expected to make disease—and epidemics—more likely and more severe. However, whether the impacts of

Discovery of Wild Amphibians Infected with Ranavirus in Brazil
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2019 Ranavirus is a double-stranded DNA virus associated with amphibian, fish and reptile die-offs worldwide. International trade of live animals farmed for human consumption, such as the American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus), plays a key role in spreading the pathogen. In Brazil, ranavirus has only been reported in captive bullfrog farms.

Salt in the Wound: Assessing Pathogen Susceptibility in Amphibian Populations Across a Gradient of Salt Pollution. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe survival function of nine larval wood frog populations and their viral loads when exposed to FV3. The populations were collected as eggs from a range of salt‐polluted ponds. Viral load data are means ±1 SE. The populations are ordered in terms of the saltiness of their natal ponds.
