Dear Amanda, I once spoke to a virologist in Sweden who told me they had found ranavirus in wild amphibiand there. Not published to the best of my knowledge. I tried to follow up on it (and sent him info on the symposium) but unfortunately got no reaction. I also know that ranavirus has been found in catfish in Hungary. They are actually working on characterising the virus (I believe they have fully sequenced one isolate).
