Experimental Evidence that Amphibian Ranaviruses Are Multi-Host Pathogens

2008-02-21

Abstract excerpt

Infectious diseases, including those caused by ranaviruses (family Iridoviridae), are among the suspected causes of global amphibian declines. Like many pathogens, ranaviruses appear to infect multiple species. We examined several North American amphibian ranavirus isolates to improve our understanding of the effects these viruses have on host communities. Our study had two objectives. The first was to characteriz...
