Environmental watering elevates chytrid infection probability in frogs
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Prolonged drought associated with climate change is a global threat to amphibians. Environmental watering could limit declines but may worsen the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis which thrives in wet conditions. We aimed to discover how environmental water and chytrid interact to influence the survival of the endangered frog Pseudophryne ...

A molecular perspective: biology of the emerging pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2009 Ten years after the first discovery of the chytrid pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the catastrophic effect of Bd on wild amphibian populations is indisputable. However, a number of persistent questions remain about Bd's origin and mechanisms of pathogenicity.

Epidemiological tracing of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans identifies widespread infection and associated mortalities in private amphibian collections [PDF]
, 2018 The amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) infects newts and salamanders (urodele amphibians), in which it can cause fatal disease.

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...

Antibacterial therapeutics for the treatment of chytrid infection in amphibians: Columbus’s egg?
BMC Veterinary Research, 2012 Background The establishment of safe and effective protocols to treat chytridiomycosis in amphibians is urgently required. In this study, the usefulness of antibacterial agents to clear chytridiomycosis from infected amphibians was evaluated.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis was extensively monitored using environmental DNA across rainforest streams for the first time in Australia during an extreme climatic period of drought followed by record rainfall. Bd was widely detected—especially at higher elevations and after rainfall—with environmental factors influencing ...

Trade in wild anurans vectors the urodelan pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans into Europe [PDF]
, 2017 Pathogen pollution has caused dramatic losses of amphibian diversity on a global scale. The recently emerged chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has been hypothesized to have its origin in Asian urodelan populations, from which it may

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Daphnia predation on the amphibian chytrid fungus and its impacts on disease risk in tadpoles [PDF]
, 2013 Direct predation upon parasites has the potential to reduce infection in host populations. For example, the fungal parasite of amphibians, B atrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( B d), is commonly transmitted through a free‐swimming zoospore stage that may ...
