초록

In recent years, there has been a rapid global decline in amphibian populations, and infectious diseases have been associated with this decline. Diseased Gold-spotted pond frogs (Rana plancyi chosenica) were collected from a frog farm in Korea and identified using morphological and molecular analysis to identify the disease. The typical symptoms of ranaviral infection were observed in the tadpoles and adults frogs. The nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the sequences showed the closest similarity with sequences to Frog virus 3, which belongs to the genusRanavirus.
