Amphibian collapses increased malaria incidence in Central America

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Biodiversity in ecosystems plays an important role in supporting human welfare, including regulating the transmission of infectious diseases. Many of these services are not fully-appreciated due to complex environmental dynamics and lack of baseline data.

United States amphibian imports pose a disease risk to salamanders despite Lacey Act regulations

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), one of two fungal pathogens that cause the deadly amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, is a major impending threat to salamander biodiversity in North America, where it is not yet known to occur.

Salamander–Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans Interactions Through Dual Transcriptomics

Ecology and Evolution
Changes in gene expression during host–pathogen interactions reveal species' functional responses and provide insight into the mechanisms by which pathogens impact biodiversity.

Novel skin defense peptides and microbiota contribute to disease resilience of the Ngäbe-Buglé leopard frog

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Some of the amphibian populations in Panama are demonstrating slow recovery decades after severe declines caused by the invasion of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd).

Towards a food web based control strategy to mitigate an amphibian panzootic in agricultural landscapes

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
While the emerging amphibian disease chytridiomycosis is causing dramatic and ongoing biodiversity losses worldwide, sustainable strategies to mitigate this global threat to amphibians are currently missing.

Impact of seasonal cycles on host-pathogen dynamics and disease mitigation for Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Seasonal cycles have a demonstrated effect on the dynamics of human and animal diseases. However, their quantitative implications for disease mitigation in wildlife are less well studied.

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research

Conservation Science and Practice
Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology.
