Article Synopsis
- Ranaviruses are harmful to amphibians, causing mass mortality and threatening already declining populations, with effects recorded in the UK and North America.
- In Colombia, a study surveyed 60 frog species to determine the presence of Ranavirus, confirming its detection in 14 individuals from 8 localities and marking the first identification of the virus in the country.
- The study also looked for co-infection with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, finding it in 7 frogs and highlighting the potential risks this new pathogen poses to amphibian populations and ecosystems in Colombia.
