Modified preservation and fungalysin description for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
La Granja: Revista de Ciencias de la Vida, 2022 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a pathogenic fungus causing chytridiomycosis, a cutaneous affection resulting in reduction on Anura populations around the world, because of fungalysins, the most important virulence factor. The B.

Host Genus and Habitat Use Shape the Distribution of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Lineages in a Hyper‐Diverse Tropical Amphibian Community [PDF]
Ecol EvolAnthropogenic change has facilitated the spread of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, where two Bd lineages (Bd‐GPL and Bd‐Brazil) co‐occur. We successfully genotyped 252 Bd‐positive samples from a diverse amphibian assemblage spanning aquatic and terrestrial habitats and found that Bd lineage ...

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.
