Detection of ranavirus (RV) in Madagascar by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and apparent prevalence including 95% confidence limits (CL) for infection as per swab results, assuming qPCR sensitivity of. 80 as per Gray et al. (2012) and absolute specificity (1.0).

Number of animals sampled, number of species represented, whether tadpoles (T) or post-metamorphic (A) animals were included, and number of tadpoles (#Tad) in the sample are reflected. Water filter results for RV detection also presented. For sites where all amphibian swabs and water samples together tested negative for RV, true prevalence is likely closer to the lower CL. Cumulative data for all sites sampled within the region appear in bold.
*Amphibians sampled in Antananarivo but reported to have been collected from the wild in Fierenana.
