Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
, 2017 Infection with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis All swabbed specimens were negative (Appendix 2), except for a specimen of P. dumicola (AMNH 134152) collected on 19 July 1988 that had a low ZE = 9.56 zoospore equivalents.

Potential influence of plant chemicals on infectivity of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012 We explored whether extracts of trees frequently found associated with amphibian habitats in Australia and Arizona, USA, may be inhibitory to the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which has been associated with global amphibian declines. We used salamanders Ambystoma tigrinum as the model system.

Effects of an infectious fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, on amphibian predator-prey interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The effects of parasites and pathogens on host behaviors may be particularly important in predator-prey contexts, since few animal behaviors are more crucial for ensuring immediate survival than the avoidance of lethal predators in nature.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis electroporation v1 [PDF]
, 2019 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (BD) is a parasitic symbiote with many frogs. BD infection is devastating to most frog species, causing mass mortality in ~6.5% of amphibian species. To understand the cellular biology of BD and its interaction with amphibians, we have developed an method of electroporation, allowing for efficient deliver of extracellular

Genomic innovations linked to infection strategies across emerging pathogenic chytrid fungi
Nature Communications, 2017 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivoransare both important pathogens of amphibians, but they differ in their host ranges, infection strategies, and host immune responses.

Widespread occurrence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in contemporary and historical samples of the endangered Bombina pachypus along the Italian peninsula. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is considered a main driver of the worldwide declines and extinctions of amphibian populations. Nonetheless, fundamental questions about its epidemiology, including whether it acts mainly as a "lone killer" or in ...

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
, 2013 Testing 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

Laboratory Maintenance of the Chytrid Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [PDF]
Current Protocols, 2021 AbstractThe chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a causative agent of chytridiomycosis, a skin disease associated with amphibian population declines around the world. Despite the major impact Bd is having on global ecosystems, much of Bd’s basic biology remains unstudied.

mBio, 2012 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is the causative agent of chytridiomycosis, which is considered one of the driving forces behind the worldwide decline in populations of amphibians. As a member of the phylum Chytridiomycota, B.

Polymorphic repetitive loci of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2011 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the cause of a fatal fungal skin disease of amphibians that has led to massive die-offs, global declines and extinctions, has spread internationally as a pandemic clone with low genetic diversity. A need exists to develop highly polymorphic markers to determine centers of origin and patterns of spread to assist in ...
