Treatment of urodelans based on temperature dependent infection dynamics of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
The recently emerged chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans currently causes amphibian population declines. We hypothesized that temperature dictates infection dynamics of B. salamandrivorans, and that therefore heat treatment may be applied to

Divergent population responses following salamander mass mortalities and declines driven by the emerging pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2023
Understanding wildlife responses to novel threats is vital in counteracting biodiversity loss. The emerging pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) causes dramatic declines in European salamander populations, and is considered an imminent ...

Integral chain management of wildlife diseases [PDF]

Conservation Letters, 2020
The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused the most prominent loss of vertebrate diversity ever recorded, which peaked in the 1980s. Recent incursion by its sister species B. salamandrivorans in Europe raised the alarm for a new wave of

The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is not detected in wild and captive amphibians from Mexico. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
The recent emergence of the pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is associated with rapid population declines of salamanders in Europe and its arrival to new areas could cause dramatic negative effects on other amphibian populations and ...

Co-Exposure with the Herbicide 2,4-D Does Not Exacerbate <i>Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans</i> Infection in the Italian Crested Newt (<i>Triturus carnifex</i>). [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Simple Summary Amphibians are among the most threatened animals on the planet, facing dangers from pollution, habitat loss and infectious diseases. In this study, we focused on the Italian crested newt, a type of salamander, to see if exposure to a ...

Growth Regulation in Amphibian Pathogenic Chytrid Fungi by the Quorum Sensing Metabolite Tryptophol [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Amphibians face many threats leading to declines and extinctions, but the chytrid fungal skin pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) have been identified as the causative factors leading to one of the ...

Identification of antibiotics for use in selection of the chytrid fungi Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Global amphibian populations are being decimated by chytridiomycosis, a deadly skin infection caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and B. salamandrivorans (Bsal).

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) not detected in an intensive survey of wild North American amphibians. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
The salamander chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans [Bsal]) is causing massive mortality of salamanders in Europe. The potential for spread via international trade into North America and the high diversity of salamanders has catalyzed ...
