Ranavirus is a type of virus that primarily affects amphibians, reptiles, and fish. It can cause severe diseases, leading to high mortality rates in affected populations. Symptoms may include skin lesions, swelling, and lethargy, which can significantly impact wildlife health and biodiversity. This virus is often spread through contaminated water, direct contact between animals, or through infected environments. Ranavirus outbreaks have been reported in various regions, raising concerns among conservationists and researchers about its effects on vulnerable species and ecosystems. Monitoring and managing these outbreaks is crucial for protecting wildlife populations.
