“Matthew J. Gray (Univ. of Tennessee) and V. Gregory Chinchar (Univ of Mississippi) have compiled a comprehensive and thorough treatise on ranaviruses, an understudied group of viruses that infect fish, amphibians, and reptiles. … This book is an invaluable source for wildlife biologists seeking to understand a potentially important group of viruses and for virologists interested in knowing about the impact of these viruses in the natural world. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.” (M. S. Kainz, Choice, Vol. 53 (3), November, 2015)
