Re: Diseased and Dead Frogs

Hi Brian, The clinical signs do not on the face of it resemble infection with either the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (fungus) or a ranavirus. However, reading the article ( World frog trade spreading killer diseases - environment - 07 May 2009 - New Scientist ) in a recent New Scientist, maybe it should be reported to the Frogwatch people, in the event that other cases with similar clinical signs are (or have been) observed.
