Bufonid Herpesvirus 1 (BfHV1)
Species affected: Amphibians especially Toad
Infections with BfHV-1 cause proliferative to ulcerative skin lesions, especially in toads. These lesions are multifocal to confluent and can show a brown discolouration. Skin retention in these areas leads to abnormal moult. Neurological symptoms are possible, but there are also clinical inapparent animals. The disease is mainly prevalent in the Spring, after hibernation and during mating season. The virus is shed via the skin and the most likely transmission takes place by direct contact.
