SURVEILLANCE FOR BATRACHOCHYTRIUM DENDROBATIDIS USING MIXOPHYES (ANURA: MYOBATRACHIDAE) LARVAE [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007
Fourteen populations of anuran larvae (tadpoles), including three populations of the endangered Fleay's Barred Frog (Mixophyes fleayi) and 11 populations of the common Great Barred Frog (Mixophyes fasciolatus), in creek sites in the southeast region of Queensland were selected.

Stress and chytridiomycosis: Exogenous exposure to corticosterone does not alter amphibian susceptibility to a fungal pathogen [PDF]

, 2014
Recent emergence and spread of the amphibian fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been attributed to a number of factors, including environmental stressors that increase host susceptibility to Bd.

Design and Application of a Genome‐Wide SNP Array to Improve Conservation Outcomes in the Critically Endangered Southern Corroboree Frog

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Species‐specific genomic information has the potential to transform modern conservation management strategies through improved genomic assessment and management outcomes. Gaining genomic insights into genetic diversity, adaptability and potential resilience against infectious diseases is essential to enhance conservation efforts for threatened

Body length of Hylodes cf. ornatus and Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles, depigmentation of mouthparts, and presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis are related Tamanho do corpo, despigmentação das partes bucais e presença de Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis estão relacionados em Hylodes cf. ornatus e Lithobates catesbeianus

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2013
A fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which can cause morbidity and death of anurans, has affected amphibian populations on a worldwide basis.

HaplotypeTools: a toolkit for accurately identifying recombination and recombinant genotypes

BMC Bioinformatics, 2021
Background Identifying haplotypes is central to sequence analysis in diploid or polyploid genomes. Despite this, there remains a lack of research and tools designed for physical phasing and its downstream analysis. Results HaplotypeTools is a new toolset

Host species vary in infection probability, sub-lethal effects, and costs of immune response when exposed to an amphibian parasite [PDF]

, 2015
The amphibian parasite Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is regarded as an extreme generalist, infecting over 500 species, but amongst these hosts there exists a great deal of variation in the susceptibility to and the costs of parasite exposure.

Rapid Emergence of an Amphibian Pathogen Coincided With Historic Amphibian Declines in the Neotropics

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The emergence of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in South America has been attributed to multiple introductions and subsequent spread in a bidirectional latitudinal wave along the primary Andean cordilleras. This is supported for Ecuador by anecdotal evidence of declines in Bd‐susceptible genera such as Telmatobius ...

Kinship Analysis Confirms Tolerant Galapagos Mockingbirds Are a Source of Nest Flies That Threaten Darwin's Finches

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Host species have evolved different strategies for dealing with parasites. ‘Vulnerable’ hosts, which suffer reduced fitness from parasites, are under selection to evolve defences. ‘Tolerant’ hosts, by contrast, avoid reductions in fitness by mitigating parasite damage.

Population genetics of the frog-killing fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Global amphibian decline by chytridiomycosis is a major environmental disaster that has been attributed to either recent fungal spread or environmental change that promotes disease. Here, we present a population genetic comparison of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis isolates from an intensively studied region of frog ...

Genomic Correlates of Disease Recovery in Natural Populations of the Sierra Nevada Yellow‐Legged Frog (Rana sierrae)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In our rapidly changing world, evolution is likely to play an important role in facilitating the resilience of wildlife populations. The Sierra Nevada yellow‐legged frog (Rana sierrae) provides a rare example of recovery following severe declines caused by the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis).
