RCA 1-binding glycans as a marker of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans infection intensity at early stages of pathogenesis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The fungal skin disease chytridiomycosis threatens global amphibian biodiversity. Among the two causative pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B . salamandrivorans, the latter has decimated several European salamander populations.

Dynamics of host populations affected by the emerging fungal pathogenBatrachochytrium salamandrivorans [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Emerging infectious diseases cause extirpation of wildlife populations. We use an epidemiological model to explore the effects of a recently emerged disease caused by the salamander-killing chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) on host ...

Successful Drug-Mediated Host Clearance of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Skin fungi are among the most dangerous drivers of global amphibian declines, and few mitigation strategies are known. For Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Chytridiomycota), available treatments rely on temperature, partially combined with antifungal ...

Widespread occurrence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Ontario, Canada, and predicted habitat suitability for the emerging Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungi Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, is associated with massive amphibian mortality events worldwide and with some species’ extinctions.

Experimental methodologies can affect pathogenicity of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans infections. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Controlled experiments are one approach to understanding the pathogenicity of etiologic agents to susceptible hosts. The recently discovered fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), has resulted in a surge of experimental investigations

Electrolyte imbalances and dehydration play a key role in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans chytridiomycosis [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionOne of the most important emerging infectious diseases of amphibians is caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal). Bsal was recently discovered and is of global concern due to its potential to cause high mortality

Using environmental DNA for detection of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in natural water

Environmental DNA, 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
