Physiological and Skin Microbiome Divergence Among Closely Related Anurans Co‐Occurring in Agricultural Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We compared physiological traits and skin microbiota of four closely related anuran species co‐occurring in agricultural wetlands, including two threatened species and two common congeners, under shared environmental conditions. We quantified body size, endocrine status, innate immune function, and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection, together ...

First Record of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the Northern Netherlands

Journal of Parasitology
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infects amphibians and has been linked to the decline of hundreds of anuran amphibians all over the world. In the province of Groningen in the Netherlands, this fungal pathogen was not detected before this study. To determine whether Groningen was Bd-free, we surveyed 12 locations in this province in 2020 and 2021 ...

Salamander–Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans Interactions Through Dual Transcriptomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Using dual transcriptomics, this study reveals how salamanders defend against an emerging pathogen and how the pathogen infects multiple hosts, uncovering a novel calmodulin‐mediated virulence pathway. These mechanistic insights connect molecular responses to host susceptibility, advancing our understanding of the potential impacts of disease on ...

Multi‐Scale Habitat Suitability and Spatial Distribution of the European Green Toad

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We modeled the multi‐scale spatial distribution and habitat suitability of the European green toad (Bufotes viridis) in Mediterranean Türkiye using an AHP–GIS framework integrating key environmental variables. The model identified proximity to freshwater and temperature as the strongest predictors, with ~67% of the area classified as highly suitable ...

Survival of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Water: Quarantine and Disease Control Implications

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Amphibian chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians thought to be moved between countries by trade in infected amphibians. The causative fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, produces aquatic, motile zoospores; infections have ...

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.

Microbial metacommunity ecology: Using null models and networks to understand assembly in a salamander disease system

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Animals host diverse microbiomes crucial for their health, which subsequently influence their function in ecosystems. Metacommunity theory offers a useful framework to understand the processes driving host‐associated microbiome assembly across scales, linking regional environmental processes to local host–microbial processes.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Hungary: an overview of recent and historical occurrence

Acta Herpetologica, 2018
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungal pathogen which causes the emerging infectious disease chytridiomycosis. Bd presents low host specificity and threatens amphibians worldwide, thus systematic inventory is the key in order to detect and mitigate the effects of the disease. Extensive data collection was conducted in Hungary in 2009-2015 from

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Temporal Variation of the Skin Bacterial Community and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection in the Terrestrial Cryptic Frog Philoria loveridgei

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
In animals and plants, symbiotic bacteria can play an important role in disease resistance of host and are the focus of much current research. Globally, amphibian population declines and extinctions have occurred due to chytridiomycosis, a skin disease ...
