Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and the Decline and Survival of the Relict Leopard Frog
EcoHealth, 2017Epizootic disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a major driver of amphibian declines, yet many amphibians declined before the pathogen was described. The Relict Leopard Frog, Rana onca (=Lithobates onca), was nearly extinct, with the exception of populations within a few geothermal springs.

Impacts of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection on Tadpole Foraging Performance
EcoHealth, 2009Pathogen-induced modifications in host behavior, including alterations in foraging behavior or foraging efficiency, can compromise host fitness by reducing growth and development. Chytridiomycosis is an infectious disease of amphibians caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), and it has played an important role in the worldwide decline

Growth Characteristics and Enzyme Activity in Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Isolates
Mycopathologia, 2008Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a member of the phylum Chytridiomycota and the causative organism chytridiomycosis, a disease of amphibians associated with global population declines and mass mortality events. The organism targets keratin-forming epithelium in adult and larval amphibians, which suggests that keratinolytic activity may be required to ...

Magnetic capture hybridization of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis genomic DNA
Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2012We hybridized biotinylated probes that anneal at multiple locations throughout the Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) genome to selectively capture Bd genomic DNA (gDNA) by binding the probe-gDNA complex to streptavidin coated magnetic beads. We then whole genome amplified the captured gDNA.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Confiscated Telmatobius in Lima, Peru
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2016The Peruvian Andes are the home of 27 species of frogs of the genus Telmatobius, many of which are critically endangered. Illegal trade of adult frogs for purported medical properties likely represents the major threat facing these species. This activity, besides reducing their populations, may contribute to the dissemination of the fungus ...

Invasion of the Fungal Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on California Islands
EcoHealth, 2015Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), an amphibian fungal pathogen, has infected >500 species and caused extinctions or declines in >200 species worldwide. Despite over a decade of research, little is known about its invasion biology. To better understand this, we conducted a museum specimen survey (1910-1997) of Bd in amphibians on 11 California ...

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Darwin’s frog Rhinoderma spp. in Chile
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010The presence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Chile was evaluated in 2 endangered frog species of the genus Rhinoderma. Specimens from a captive rearing facility, wild populations and preserved collection material were analyzed using histological and molecular techniques.
