PRO/AH> Die-off, amphibian – Spain: (Picos de Europa) ranavirus

Other Animal Disease — Worldwide/Unknown
A deadly new disease has emerged that is wiping out amphibians, scientists report. A number of viruses have been found in northern Spain that are killing frog, toad, and newt [salamander] species. Infected animals can suffer from ulcers on their skin and die from internal bleeding. Researchers fear the strains, which belong to the _Ranavirus_ group, have already spread to other countries. The study is published in the journal Current Biology.
