Jesse: Fantastic work compiling these references!! I think you found everything from our lab. Indeed, the GRRS has tremendous capabilities, but it is only useful if it is populated with historical records, and if researchers continue to enter new data (similar to the chytrid mapping database that Michelle Koo is managing). Given several ranavirus researchers will not be attending the 2017 ISR in Budapest, perhaps we can record your workshop (e.g., using Zoom) and make it available via the GRC website? Thanks a bunch for leading this effort! All the Best, Matt ______________________________________________________________ Matthew J.

It has great potential, but with few entries, it is not yet particularly useful. We hope to change that. I have a student who will be entering published records of ranavirus occurrences over the next several weeks. Our goal is to have every published record entered up through 2015 or 2016 by the International Ranavirus Symposium in Budapest in June. At that symposium I will be leading a workshop on how to enter and manage records in the GRRS. Between the two parts I think we can make the GRRS a truly useful tool for all of us! I am asking for your help to make sure do not miss any records. I have created a spreadsheet on Google with all of the references we were planning to enter into the GRRS. Would you please look at this list and make sure we have not missed your papers or those of anyone you know of? (Note: we will not be entering unpublished data.) The link is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zX3EkzknwRJCmPdZUfUOCdX_zvnA4Zvfe7lXxj_b_yA/edit?usp=sharing Please enter any missing records or add comments/notes by Friday 26 May to ensure inclusion, although you can always enter records later. If you have questions, please email me directly: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Thank you for your help!
