Abstract

Bufonid herpesvirus 1 (BfHV1) was initially described in 2018 from cases of severe dermatitis in Swiss populations of the common toad (Bufo bufo). We identified a closely related herpes virus strain in a German toad population affected by an epidemic of multifocal proliferative to ulcerative dermatitis.
