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).

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

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.

A new record for American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in San Juan, Argentina
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011 We report a new record of Lithobates catesbeianus (American bullfrog) from Argentina. L. catesbeianus was first introduced to San Juan Province 11 years ago in Calingasta Department, where the habitat is pre-cordilleran.

Successful eradication of invasive American bullfrogs leads to coextirpation of emerging pathogens
Conservation Letters, 2023 Interventions of the host–pathogen dynamics provide strong tests of relationships, yet they are still rarely applied across multiple populations. After American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) invaded a wildlife refuge where federally threatened Chiricahua ...
