Identification of antibiotics for use in selection of the chytrid fungi Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Global amphibian populations are being decimated by chytridiomycosis, a deadly skin infection caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and B. salamandrivorans (Bsal).

Widespread occurrence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Ontario, Canada, and predicted habitat suitability for the emerging Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungi Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, is associated with massive amphibian mortality events worldwide and with some species’ extinctions.

Modified preservation and fungalysin description for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

La Granja: Revista de Ciencias de la Vida, 2022
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a pathogenic fungus causing chytridiomycosis, a cutaneous affection resulting in reduction on Anura populations around the world, because of fungalysins, the most important virulence factor. The B.

Isolation and maintenance of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans cultures [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2019
Abstract Discovered in 2013, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ( Bsal ) is an emerging amphibian pathogen that causes ulcerative skin lesions and multifocal erosion. A closely related pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Effect of Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis on Anura Populations Batrachochytrium

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Chytrium (Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis) is a chytrium fungus that causes amphibian chytriomycosis. They were first discovered in 1998 and have been responsible for a large number of amphibian deaths over the next decade. Chytrid fungus grows on amphibian skin and produces free aquatic spores.

Reference gene screening of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans for quantitative real-time PCR studies [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractReal-time quantitative PCR studies largely depend on reference genes for the normalization of gene expression. Stable reference genes should be accurately selected in order to obtain reliable results. We here present a study screening commonly used reference genes (TEF1F,α-centractin,Ctsyn1,GAPDH,R6046,APRTandTUB) in the chytrid ...
