Apparently it does not just affect amphibians but also reptiles, the antis are currently connecting the two and making waves.

There are other connections that we are currently researching.

I spoke to a lad called Shaun about this before because he is into amphibians and reptiles. He said that Iridoviruses are emerging in chelonians but especially wild box turtles. Indirect ELISA was validated to determine exposure to chelonians. He said that an anti desert toroise monoclonal anitbody was used in anitbody assays. He also said that there has been reports of tree pythons having it.

He could be of help if ya e mail him.
