eDNA-based monitoring of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans with ddPCR in Luxembourg ponds: taking signals below the Limit of Detection (LOD) into account [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) are two pathogenic fungi that are a significant threat to amphibian communities worldwide.

Ecophysiological Suitability of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Mexico. [PDF]

open access: yesEcohealth
Abstract Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ) is a fungal pathogen responsible for amphibian population declines worldwide. In Mexico, understanding the potential distribution of Bd is crucial for conservation ...

Ecological correlates of extinction risk and persistence of direct-developing stream-dwelling frogs in Mesoamerica

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Understanding the threats to wildlife across space and time is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. In Mesoamerica (i.e., the region that extends from Central Mexico to the most southern point in Panama) at least 40% of amphibian ...

Tracking Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection Across the Globe [PDF]

open access: yesEcoHealth, 2020
AbstractInfection records of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a pathogen that has devastated amphibian populations worldwide, have rapidly increased since the pathogen’s discovery. Dealing with so many records makes it difficult to (a) know where, when and in which species infections have been detected, (b) understand how widespread and pervasive ...

Newly discovered population of Bumpy Glassfrog, Centrolene heloderma (Duellman, 1981), with discussion of threats to population persistence [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2018
Since 2011, the Bumpy Glassfrog, Centrolene heloderma (Duellman, 1981) was known only from a single location in the Mindo region of Ecuador. We report a newly discovered population located in the area of La Sierra, along Río Alambi, a stream ...

Quantifying Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans Viability [PDF]

open access: yesEcoHealth, 2019
The disease chytridiomycosis is responsible for global amphibian declines. Chytridiomycosis is caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and B. salamandrivorans (Bsal), fungal pathogens with stationary and transmissible life stages. Establishing methods that quantify growth and survival of both life stages can facilitate research on the ...

Predicting in vivo absorption of chloramphenicol in frogs using in vitro percutaneous absorption data

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2021
Background Infectious disease, particularly the fungal disease chytridiomycosis (caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), is a primary cause of amphibian declines and extinctions worldwide.

Discriminating Lineages ofBatrachochytrium dendrobatidisusing quantitative PCR [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, 2020
AbstractThe ability to detect and monitor infectious disease in a phylogenetically informative manner is critical for their management. Phylogenetically informative diagnostic tests enable patterns of pathogen introduction or changes in the distribution of genotypes to be measured, enabling research into the ecology of the pathogen.Batrachochytrium ...

Reservoir frogs: seasonality of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection in robber frogs in Dominica and Montserrat [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Emerging infectious diseases are an increasingly important threat to wildlife conservation, with amphibian chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the disease most commonly associated with species declines and extinctions.
