Invasive vegetation affects amphibian skin microbiota and body condition [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Invasive plants are major drivers of habitat modification and the scale of their impact is increasing globally as anthropogenic activities facilitate their spread. In California, an invasive plant genus of great concern is Eucalyptus.

Using environmental DNA for detection of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in natural water [PDF]

, 2020
Rapid, early, and reliable detection of invasive pathogenic microorganisms is essential in order to either predict or delineate an outbreak, and monitor appropriate mitigation measures. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is expanding in

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.

Inhibition of Fungal Pathogens across Genotypes and Temperatures by Amphibian Skin Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Symbiotic bacteria may dampen the impacts of infectious diseases on hosts by inhibiting pathogen growth. However, our understanding of the generality of pathogen inhibition by different bacterial taxa across pathogen genotypes and environmental ...

Prevalencia del hongo quitridio en la “especie abanderada” Atelopus varius (Anura, Bufonidae), Zona Protectora las Tablas, Costa Rica

Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2021
Introducción: El sapo arlequín, Atelopus varius, se encuentra en peligro crítico y fue declarada “aparentemente extinta” en Costa Rica en 1996. Una de las posibles causas fue el hongo patógeno Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.

Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]

, 2015
Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...

Chytrid fungus infection in alpine tree frogs is associated with individual heterozygosity and population isolation but not population-genetic diversity [PDF]

, 2020
Chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the emerging fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has been implicated in the decline of over 500 amphibian species.

New records of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Chilean frogs [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2011
We used molecular techniques to examine 11 species of frogs in 6 localities in southern Chile to ascertain the incidence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We detected the fungus in 2 localities (Coñaripe and Raúl Marín Balmaceda) in 3 species: Batrachyla leptopus, Pleurodema thaul and Rhinoderma darwinii.

Quantitative measurement of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in amphibian skin [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006
The ability to quantify infections provides a tool with which to perform comparative pathological research. The need exists for a simplistic standard method to compare infection levels of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a major cause of global amphibian declines. Through examination of skin sloughs of the Cape river frog Afrana fuscigula, we present an

Effect of Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis on Anura Populations Batrachochytrium

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Chytrium (Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis) is a chytrium fungus that causes amphibian chytriomycosis. They were first discovered in 1998 and have been responsible for a large number of amphibian deaths over the next decade. Chytrid fungus grows on amphibian skin and produces free aquatic spores.
