Frogs were found to be suffering from a variety of symptoms, sometimes with secondary bacterial infections. Frog virus 3 is the type species. Ranavirus: A genus of IRIDOVIRIDAE which infects amphibians. Rather, infections here are among adult frogs and computer modelling has shown that disease could be maintained in individual ponds with infections occurring in adult common frogs alone. to your comment. try again, the name must be unique It causes two forms of disease in frogs: skin ulcers and internal bleeding. Bullfrogs) as well as goldfish (since some ranaviruses infect fish).Originally the disease was found in southeast England but since then it has spread across the UK.

The patterns of infection indicate that Ranaviral disease is relatively new to the UK, possibly spread from North America through the commercial importation of bullfrogs or goldfish.Ranavirus seems to be found mainly in common frogs, occurring less commonly in other amphibians.

Ranavirus can wipe out entire common frog populations, but researchers say their latest study could help the species — by University of Exeter. There are often ‘hot-spots’ of disease – clusters of incidents reported in one area – but it’s unclear how it jumps from one location to another.It is still largely unknown how the disease spreads between ponds/frog populations but we do know that it is more likely to spread in certain conditions.
