Dear Ann and GRC: There are a few resources with a partial list of diagnostic labs that test for ranavirus; see the following links: http://fwf.ag.utk.edu/mgray/SEPARC/SEPARCShippingFinal.pdf http://fwf.ag.utk.edu/mgray/Publications/Greenetal2009_DoddCh26.pdf (see page 494) Ann's email highlights the need for a comprehensive list by continent of diagnostic laboratories, or research laboratories that are willing to process samples for individuals. To standardize the submission of information and reduce emails to the LISTSERV, please submit laboratory information to your GRC continental representative (see list at: http://fwf.ag.utk.edu/mgray/ranavirus/Ranavirus.htm) by Friday, 30 August. Your representative will submit submissions to the GRC (Amanda Duffus), and we will post on the website for reference.
