Genome sequence of a recombinant frog virus 3 strain detected in American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) cultured in Brazil
A recombinant frog virus 3 strain was detected in cultured bullfrogs in Brazil. Phylogenomic analyses revealed this FV3 strain possesses regions of recombination similar to those reported in FV3 strains isolated from cultured bullfrogs in North America and Brazil. This suggests international trade of bullfrogs has spread recombinant FV3 strains.
