TL;DR
Scientists identified two nearly identical ranavirus strains from frogs and a newt during a mass die-off in Florida.
Contribution
The study reports the genomic characterization of two new Frog virus 3 isolates from amphibians in Florida.
Findings
Two ranavirus isolates were recovered from a gopher frog and a striped newt.
Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the isolates are nearly identical and belong to Frog virus 3.
Abstract
Two ranavirus isolates were recovered from anuran and salamander samples collected during an amphibian mass mortality event in North-Central Florida in 2021. Phylogenetic analyses of the full genomes confirmed that the two isolates were nearly identical and strains of the species Frog virus 3.
