Ranaviruses are emerging pathogens of amphibians. We examined the phylogenetic relationship of ranaviruses from infected Lithobates sylvaticus tadpoles 2001–2004 from Oliver Pond, Ontario, Canada. The isolates sequenced are primarily frog virus 3– like, but because of sequence convergence, finer-scale analysis based on the major capsid protein was uninformative.
