Ranid herpesvirus 3 (RaHV3) is a recently discovered virus associated with skin disease in frogs. We detected RaHV3 DNA in free-ranging common frog (Rana temporaria) tadpoles, consistent with premetamorphic infection. Our finding reveals a critical aspect of RaHV3 pathogenesis, relevant for amphibian ecology and conservation and, potentially, for human health.
Ranid herpesvirus 3 (RaHV3) 是一种最近发现的与青蛙皮肤疾病相关的病毒。我们在自由放养的普通青蛙(Rana temporaria)蝌蚪中检测到了 RaHV3 DNA,这与前变态感染一致。我们的发现揭示了 RaHV3 发病机制的一个关键方面,与两栖动物生态学和保护有关,并且可能与人类健康有关。
