Survey of Turkey’s endemic amphibians for chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2014
We report a new survey for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in Turkey. We swabbed 228 individuals of 7 amphibian species (from 5 families) living in 2 locations (26-August National Park and the Turkish Lakes District) in the southwestern Anatolian region. The infection intensity of all the samples was determined using quantitative PCR.

Parallels in Amphibian and Bat Declines from Pathogenic Fungi

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Pathogenic fungi have substantial effects on global biodiversity, and 2 emerging pathogenic species—the chytridiomycete Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which causes chytridiomycosis in amphibians, and the ascomycete Geomyces destructans, which causes ...

First Record of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the Northern Netherlands

Journal of Parasitology
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infects amphibians and has been linked to the decline of hundreds of anuran amphibians all over the world. In the province of Groningen in the Netherlands, this fungal pathogen was not detected before this study. To determine whether Groningen was Bd-free, we surveyed 12 locations in this province in 2020 and 2021 ...

Field notes on findings of threatened amphibian species in the central mountain range of western Panama [PDF]

, 2012
During field work along a transect in the Cordillera Central of western Panama between 2008 and 2010, we detected several populations of amphibian species which are considered as “Endangered” or “Critically Endangered” by the IUCN.

Shifts in temperature influence how Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infects amphibian larvae.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Many climate change models predict increases in frequency and magnitude of temperature fluctuations that might impact how ectotherms are affected by disease.

Community-Wide Genotyping of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Ecuadorian Forests

EcoHealth
Abstract The amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a cosmopolitan pathogen with numerous distinct lineages. The global panzootic lineage (Bd-GPL) is the most widespread and virulent lineage and is responsible for many recorded amphibian declines.

ACTIVIDADES ANTROPOGÉNICAS Y LA DINÁMICA DE LA QUITRIDIOMICOSIS COMO ENFERMEDAD INFECCIOSA DE ANFIBIOS NEOTROPICALES [PDF]

, 2016
Algunas actividades antropogénicas han demostrado ser las causantes de afectaciones en un gran número de especies de anfibios. La fragmentación de los bosques, el cambio del uso del suelo, las especies introducidas y el cambio climático son factores que ...

Novel skin defense peptides and microbiota contribute to disease resilience of the Ngäbe-Buglé leopard frog

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Some of the amphibian populations in Panama are demonstrating slow recovery decades after severe declines caused by the invasion of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd).

Tetrodotoxin, fungal pathogen infection, and bacterial microbiome associations are variable in the skin microecosystems of two Taricha newt species

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
A diverse metabolome exists on amphibian skin that mediates interactions between hosts and skin microbiomes. Tetrodotoxin is one such metabolite that occurs across a variety of taxa, and is particularly well studied in newts of the genus Taricha that are
