title: Genome Sequence of a Ranavirus Isolated from Pike-Perch Sander lucioperca.
abstract: The pike-perch iridovirus (PPIV) was isolated in Finland from apparently healthy pike-perch fingerlings during routine disease surveillance. Our phylogenomic analysis revealed that PPIV is the first fish member of a clade of ranaviruses previously described from European and Chinese amphibians.
