Amphibian virology

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2005
Amphibians are a diverse group of species; much work remains to be done to elucidate the viruses of amphibians. Viral diseases may play an important role in wild and captive amphibian populations. Iridoviruses are a leading cause of wild amphibian mortality events in the United States and are a common cause of amphibian mortality events worldwide.

Amphibious Generator via Mechanical Coupling for Versatile Energy Harvesting

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
An amphibious hybrid triboelectric nanogenerator–electromagnetic generator (TENG–EMG) efficiently harvests energy from wind and water. By integrating TENG and EMG units with a gear‐assisted mechanism, it enhances power output and powers small electronic devices.

Rapid quantitative detection of chytridiomycosis (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) in amphibian samples using real-time Taqman PCR assay.

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2004
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a major pathogen of frogs worldwide, associated with declines in amphibian populations. Diagnosis of chytridiomycosis to date has largely relied upon histological and immunohistochemical examination of toe clips.

Emerging infectious disease and the loss of biodiversity in a Neotropical amphibian community.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2006
Pathogens rarely cause extinctions of host species, and there are few examples of a pathogen changing species richness and diversity of an ecological community by causing local extinctions across a wide range of species.
