Ranaviruses and the fungus are globally important agents of emerging infectious amphibian diseases. Amphibians on Oahu, the Hawaiian Island with the greatest potential for disease introduction through the movement of goods and people, have never been surveyed for ranaviruses or . We surveyed all five species of frogs on Oahu, Hawaii, US for these pathogens. Of 325 individuals sampled from six sites, none were positive for ranavirus. However, we found in a total of four individuals of three species, the cane toad (), the American bullfrog (), and the greenhouse frog (), but not in the green and black poison dart frog () or the Japanese wrinkled frog (). The apparent lack of ranavirus and low prevalence of are noteworthy given how widespread these pathogens are in terms of both global distribution and host range. Surveillance should continue to document any changes in prevalence or the arrival of ranaviruses in Hawaii.
蛙病毒属病毒和真菌是全球范围内新兴两栖动物传染病的重要病原体。瓦胡岛是夏威夷群岛中通过货物和人员流动引入疾病可能性最大的岛屿，此前从未对该岛两栖动物进行过蛙病毒属病毒或[此处原文缺失相关内容]的调查。我们对美国夏威夷瓦胡岛的所有五种蛙类进行了这些病原体的调查。在从六个地点采集的325只个体中，没有一只蛙病毒属病毒检测呈阳性。然而，我们在三种蛙类的总共四只个体中发现了[此处原文缺失相关内容]，分别是蔗蟾、美国牛蛙和温室蛙，但绿黑丛蛙或日本皱皮蛙中未发现。考虑到这些病原体在全球分布和宿主范围方面都非常广泛，蛙病毒属病毒明显缺失以及[此处原文缺失相关内容]低流行率值得关注。应继续进行监测，以记录[此处原文缺失相关内容]流行率的任何变化或蛙病毒属病毒在夏威夷的出现情况。
