Abstract

The article examines the presence of Ranavirus in anurans from two national parks in Gabon, revealing no evidence of the virus in the sampled amphibian populations. Topics discussed include the methods used for detecting Ranavirus Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), the challenges in assessing virus prevalence due to potential limitations in the detection techniques, and the implications for future research and surveillance in Africa.
