Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2023 Biological invasions are a major cause of biodiversity and ecosystem services loss. However, information on distribution and impacts is limited for many alien species, restricting the development of local management measures. The aim of this study is: to

Gene expression differs in susceptible and resistant amphibians exposed to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. [PDF]
, 2018 Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated global amphibian biodiversity. Nevertheless, some hosts avoid disease after Bd exposure even as others experience near-complete extirpation ...

Environmental Challenges, 2023 Invasive alien species are worldwide one of the main reasons for the decline of species in native communities and hence biodiversity. Control or eradication programs are often fragmented leading to cost-inefficient and inadequate results.

Survival estimates for the invasive American bullfrog
Amphibia-Reptilia, 2020 Abstract American bullfrogs ( Lithobates catesbeianus ) are significant invaders in many places and can negatively impact native species. Despite their impact and wide distribution, little is known about their demography.

Invasive North American bullfrogs transmit lethal fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections to native amphibian host species [PDF]
, 2016 Invasive species can be a threat to native species in several ways, including transmitting lethal infections caused by the parasites they carry. However, invasive species may also be plagued by novel and lethal infections they acquire when invading ...

Frog Virus 3 Infection, Cultured American Bullfrogs
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Ranaculture, the practice of farm-raising frogs for scientific and culinary purposes, is practiced in many countries, including the United States (1). As with aquaculture, most ranaculture challenges relate to husbandry and disease. In aquaculture, iridovirus infections are reportable and can result in large-scale fish deaths (2,3).

DISTRIBUTION, DIET, AND PREVALENCE OF AMPHIBIAN CHYTRID FUNGUS IN NON-NATIVE AMERICAN BULLFROGS (LITHOBATES CATESBEIANUS) AT THE VALENTINE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, NEBRASKA, USA [PDF]
, 2014 American Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) have been widely introduced beyond their native range in North America and can negatively affect organisms in wetland environments via a suite of mechanisms including interspecific interactions and disease ...

Evidence of niche shift and invasion potential of Lithobates catesbeianus in the habitat of Mexican endemic frogs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Invasive alien species are one of most severe threats to biodiversity and natural resources. These biological invasions have been studied from the niche conservatism and niche shifts perspective.

Pathogenic fungus in feral populations of the invasive North American bullfrog in Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 Nearly a third (32.4%) of the world?s amphibian species are either threatened with extinction or already extinct (1). The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) (Chytridiomycetes: Ryzophydiales) (2) has been recognized as responsible for mass
