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 ...

First record of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infecting threatenedpopulations of Tandilean Red-belly toad (Melanophryniscus aff.montevidensis) in Argentina

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2015
We present the first record of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infecting endangered populations of the Tandilean Red-belly toad(Melanophryniscus aff. montevidensis). We obtained skin swab samples of 32 individuals.

DISTRIBUTION, DIET, AND PREVALENCE OF AMPHIBIAN CHYTRID FUNGUS IN NON-NATIVE AMERICAN BULLFROGS (LITHOBATES CATESBEIANUS) AT THE VALENTINE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, NEBRASKA, USA [PDF]

, 2014
American Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) have been widely introduced beyond their native range in North America and can negatively affect organisms in wetland environments via a suite of mechanisms including interspecific interactions and disease ...

Disease Refuge or Ecological Trap: Location‐Specific Performance of Amphibian Hotspot Shelters

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Artificial hotspot shelters, which provide sun‐heated retreats, can help frogs clear infections from the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) by creating warm microhabitats unsuitable for the pathogen. We monitored shelter temperatures at two Australian sites and found they reached therapeutic levels far more often in Sydney than ...

Composition of Micro-eukaryotes on the Skin of the Cascades Frog (Rana cascadae) and Patterns of Correlation between Skin Microbes and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Global amphibian decline linked to fungal pathogens has galvanized research on applied amphibian conservation. Skin-associated bacterial communities of amphibians have been shown to mediate fungal skin infections and the development of probiotic ...

A Brazilian anuran (Hylodes magalhaesi: Leptodactylidae) infected by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis: a conservation concern [PDF]

, 2006
Several studies have associated the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis with anuran population declines worldwide. To date, the fungus has been found in Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe.

Designing screening protocols for amphibian disease that account for imperfect and variable capture rates of individuals [PDF]

, 2014
The amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, is one of the main factors in global amphibian decline. Accurate knowledge of its presence and prevalence in an area is needed to trigger conservation actions. However, imperfect capture rates

Cryptic Declines in a Widespread Australian Frog Complex

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study surveyed 70 historical sites across an elevation gradient in south‐eastern Australia to assess the status of the Pseudophryne bibronii complex (P. bibronii and P. dendyi) and Bd infection. Occupancy and abundance declined sharply with elevation (71% at low elevations versus 28% high elevations), while Bd prevalence rose (6.7% to 29.2 ...

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis: requirement for further isolate collection and archiving [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010
The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) causes the disease chytridiomycosis, which is lethal to many species of amphibians worldwide. Many studies have investigated the epidemiology of chytridiomycosis in amphibian populations, but few have considered possible host-pathogen coevolution.

Frogs vs fungus: the emergence of amphibian chytridiomycosis [PDF]

Microbiology Australia, 2022
By the late 1980s, widespread dramatic declines in amphibian populations were causing alarm. The culprit was identified as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a chytrid fungus that infects the skin of various amphibian hosts, particularly anurans (frogs)
