The Roles of Amphibian (<i>Xenopus laevis</i>) Macrophages during Chronic Frog Virus 3 Infections

Infections by Frog Virus 3 (FV3) and other ranavirus genus members are significantly contributing to global amphibian decline. The <i>Xenopus laevis</i> frog is an ideal research platform upon which to study the roles of distinct frog leukocyte populations during FV3 infections. Frog mac...
