Tracking Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection Across the Globe [PDF]

EcoHealth, 2020
AbstractInfection records of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a pathogen that has devastated amphibian populations worldwide, have rapidly increased since the pathogen’s discovery. Dealing with so many records makes it difficult to (a) know where, when and in which species infections have been detected, (b) understand how widespread and pervasive ...

Pathogenic chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, but not B. salamandrivorans, detected on eastern hellbenders.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Recent worldwide declines and extinctions of amphibian populations have been attributed to chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd).

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans Threat to the Iberian Urodele Hotspot

Journal of Fungi, 2021
The recent introduction of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans into northeastern Spain threatens salamander diversity on the Iberian Peninsula. We assessed the current epidemiological situation with extensive field sampling of urodele populations.

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans and the Risk of a Second Amphibian Pandemic [PDF]

EcoHealth, 2017
(Uploaded by Plazi for the IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment) Amphibians are experiencing devastating population declines globally. A major driver is chytridiomycosis, an emerging infectious disease caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal).

Presence of low virulence chytrid fungi could protect European amphibians from more deadly strains

Nature Communications, 2020
The pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (BD) associated with widespread amphibian declines is present in Europe but has not consistently caused disease-induced declines in that region.

Frequency‐dependent transmission ofBatrachochytrium salamandrivoransin eastern newts [PDF]

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021
Transmission is the fundamental process whereby pathogens infect their hosts and spread through populations, and can be characterized using mathematical functions. The functional form of transmission for emerging pathogens can determine pathogen impacts on host populations and can inform the efficacy of disease management strategies.

Duplex Real-Time PCR for Rapid Simultaneous Detection of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Amphibian Samples [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis is a lethal fungal disease contributing to declines and extinctions of amphibian species worldwide. The currently used molecular screening tests for chytridiomycosis fail to detect the recently described species Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans .

Genomic innovations linked to infection strategies across emerging pathogenic chytrid fungi

Nature Communications, 2017
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivoransare both important pathogens of amphibians, but they differ in their host ranges, infection strategies, and host immune responses.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

, 2017
Infection with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis All swabbed specimens were negative (Appendix 2), except for a specimen of P. dumicola (AMNH 134152) collected on 19 July 1988 that had a low ZE = 9.56 zoospore equivalents.

Immunological Aspects of Chytridiomycosis

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Amphibians are currently the most threatened vertebrate class, with the disease chytridiomycosis being a major contributor to their global declines.
