The Role of Host Species in Experimental Ferlavirus Infection: Comparison of a Single Strain in Ball Pythons (<i>Python regius</i>) and Corn Snakes (<i>Pantherophis guttatus</i>)

The Role of Host Species in Experimental Ferlavirus Infection: Comparison of a Single Strain in Ball Pythons (<i>Python regius</i>) and Corn Snakes (<i>Pantherophis guttatus</i>)

Ferlaviruses are a cause of respiratory disease in snakes. Four genogroups (A, B, C, and tortoise) have been described. Disease development is believed to depend on virus, host, and environment-specific factors. There is evidence of transmission of individual strains between genera and families of r...
