摘要: Amphibian diseases are acknowledged as significant contributors to the decline and extinction of amphib- ian species. The main culprits currently considered chytridiomycosis Ranavirus. In Central America, highly endemic geographical restricted terrestrial species may be at risk from these diseases. We collected 49 Agalychnis callidryas larvae, one Lithobates forrei five unidentified larvae on Nicaraguan Island Ometepe, all deceased, skin samples were taken. presence Ranavirus was determined using PCR. found involved in 41 55 tadpoles. Forty-one , another anuran
