Survival of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Water: Quarantine and Disease Control Implications
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 Amphibian chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians thought to be moved between countries by trade in infected amphibians. The causative fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, produces aquatic, motile zoospores; infections have ...

Recent Asian origin of chytrid fungi causing global amphibian declines [PDF]
, 2018 Globalized infectious diseases are causing species declines worldwide, but their source often remains elusive. We used whole-genome sequencing to solve the spatiotemporal origins of the most devastating panzootic to date, caused by the fungus ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We investigated how Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) affects multi‐host amphibian communities in Tasmania, Australia. Despite differential susceptibility, we found no evidence of population declines in susceptible species, suggesting that current environmental conditions may buffer communities against Bd impacts.

Artificial Shelters as a Monitoring and Conservation Tool for Terrestrial Breeding Frogs
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Artificial concrete and wooden shelters were tested as low‐impact tools for monitoring a cryptic terrestrial‐breeding frog, Austrochaperina robusta, in the Australian Wet Tropics. Frogs overwhelmingly preferred concrete shelters, which provided stronger thermal buffering, supported higher occupancy across seasons, and were the only shelters used for ...

qPCR assay for detecting Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis v1 [PDF]
, 2019 The fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) was first detected in Norway in 2017, and thus indicate the arrival of an invasive black-listed species in the country. Here we report the details of real time PCR assay which was used to screen for B. dendrobatidis from water samples collected from different locations in Norway.

Infection and transmission heterogeneity of a multi-host pathogen (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) within an amphibian community [PDF]
, 2016 The majority of parasites infect multiple hosts. As the outcome of the infection is different in each of them, most studies of wildlife disease focus on the few species that suffer the most severe consequences.

Emerging Chytrid Fungal Pathogen, Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis, in Zoo Amphibians in Thailand
Acta Veterinaria, 2017 Chytridiomycosis, a disease in amphibians caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has led to a population decline and extinction of frog species since 1996.
