Disease

Ranavirus

Will it affect any other species of amphibian or my fish?

Ranavirus in the UK is not just restricted to frogs, it can also occur in toads and in all three newt species. 

This strain should not affect fish although ranaviruses have been linked to fish deaths. If you have experienced frog and fish deaths at the same time then please get in touch as this could be significant.

There is no evidence ranavirus can infect people.
