Ophidian paramyxovirus (OPMV), also called Fer-de-Lance virus of reptiles (FDLV), is an important viral pathogen of snakes, principally [[Viperidae]] and it has also been isolated from [[Elapidae]], [[Colubridae]] and [[Boidae]].  The natural host for OPMV is unknown but may be a non-viperid.  Disease may be associated with decreased immunocompetence. Transmission may be by droplet, fomites and vectors such as [[Snake Mites|mites]]. Congenital infection may be involved.
