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 ...

Efficacy of Plant-Derived Fungicides at Inhibiting Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans Growth [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The emerging fungal amphibian pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), is currently spreading across Europe and given its estimated invasion potential, has the capacity to decimate salamander populations worldwide.

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

Winter is coming-Temperature affects immune defenses and susceptibility to Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Environmental temperature is a key factor driving various biological processes, including immune defenses and host-pathogen interactions. Here, we evaluated the effects of environmental temperature on the pathogenicity of the emerging fungal pathogen ...

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.

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.

Broad host susceptibility of North American amphibian species to Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans suggests high invasion potential and biodiversity risk. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2023
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is a fungal pathogen of amphibians that is emerging in Europe and could be introduced to North America through international trade or other pathways. To evaluate the risk of Bsal invasion to amphibian biodiversity,
