Genomic sequencing of ranaviruses isolated from turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

Ranaviruses have been isolated from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in Denmark. Phylogenomic analyses revealed that these two ranaviruses are nearly identical and form a distinct clade at the base of the ranavirus tree branching off near other fish ranaviruses.
