Environmental detection of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in a temperate climate [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2007 The aetiological agent of amphibian chytridiomycosis Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a primary cause of amphibian population declines. Current surveillance is based on the detection of B. dendrobatidis in its host but in vitro work suggests infective stages may survive in the abiotic environment for at least 3 mo.

Cryo-archiving of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and other chytridiomycetes [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2003 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a major pathogen of frogs worldwide. It has been associated with catastrophic declines of frog populations including those in pristine habitats in Queensland, Australia. To facilitate genetic and disease studies of this fungus and related species, it is essential to have a reliable long-term storage method to maintain ...

Life cycle stages of the amphibian chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2005 An overview of the morphology and life cycle of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the cause of chytridiomycosis of amphibians, is presented. We used a range of methods to examine stages of the life cycle in culture and in frog skin, and to assess ultrastructural pathology in the skin of 2 frogs.

Characteristics of monolayer formation in vitro by the chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Biofilm, 2019 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a globally distributed generalist pathogen that has driven many amphibian populations to extinction. The life cycle of B. dendrobatidis has two main cell types, motile zoospores, and sessile reproductive sporangia.
