Genomic sequence analysis of zoo ranavirus (ZRV) suggests it is a strain of Bohle iridovirus (BIV), a virus that was first detected in, and thought to be confined to, Australia. Furthermore, marked sequence similarity and genomic co-linearity among ZRV, BIV, and German gecko ranavirus (GGRV) are consistent with the view that all three are strains of Frog virus 3, the type species of the genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae.
动物园蛙病毒（ZRV）的基因组序列分析表明，它是博勒虹彩病毒（BIV）的一个毒株，该病毒最初在澳大利亚被发现，并且曾被认为仅局限于澳大利亚。此外，ZRV、BIV和德国壁虎蛙病毒（GGRV）之间显著的序列相似性和基因组共线性与以下观点一致，即这三种病毒都是蛙病毒3的毒株，蛙病毒3是虹彩病毒科蛙病毒属的模式种。
