Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
2013Testing for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) Samples used to test for the presence of Bd were collected by swabbing at least 25 times on the ventral surfaces and rear foot following Brem et al. (2007). The swabs were stored in sterile Eppendorf vials, which were refrigerated at - 15ºC. Bd detection was carried out by using the PCR approach described

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
2015Abstract Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungal pathogen that infects many different amphibian species, driving some of them to extinction. ‘Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis’ considers the physiology and natural history of this emerging pathogen; its discovery in the late 1990s in Australia and Central America; and the concepts ...

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Chytridiomycosis in Anuran Amphibians of Colombia
EcoHealth, 2008In order to investigate the possible presence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Chytridiomycota: Chytridiales) in frogs (Amphibia: Anura) of Colombia, we made a retrospective examination of formalin-fixed specimens preserved in natural history collections.

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

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the Arid and Thermally Extreme Sonoran Desert
EcoHealth, 2023Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the causative agent of the devastating global amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, was not projected to threaten amphibians in hot and arid regions due to its sensitivity to heat and desiccation. However, Bd is being detected more frequently than ever in hot and arid regions of Australia and the USA, challenging our ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
