Ranaviruses are pathogens of fish, amphibians and reptiles. They are of concern to commercial freshwater fisheries and cause infections in frogs and toads around the world. This slide shows a transmission electron micrograph of ranaviruses gathering close to the cell border where they can be seen leaving the cell via a process called budding.
