Risk of survival, establishment and spread of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in the EU [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2018
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is an emerging fungal pathogen of salamanders. Despite limited surveillance, Bsal was detected in kept salamanders populations in Belgium, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and in wild ...

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans sp. nov. causes lethal chytridiomycosis in amphibians [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Significance Chytridiomycosis has resulted in the serious decline and extinction of >200 species of amphibians worldwide and poses the greatest threat to biodiversity of any known disease. This fungal disease is currently known to be caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis , hitherto the only species ...

Mitigating Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Europe [PDF]

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2019
Abstract The infectious chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ( Bsal ) has been responsible for severe population declines of salamander populations in Europe.

Habitat connectivity supports the local abundance of fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) but also the spread of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Landscape Ecology, 2023
Habitat connectivity can stabilise animal populations by facilitating immigration and genetic exchange, but it increases the risk of infectious diseases being spread by hosts.

Inhibition of Fungal Pathogens across Genotypes and Temperatures by Amphibian Skin Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Symbiotic bacteria may dampen the impacts of infectious diseases on hosts by inhibiting pathogen growth. However, our understanding of the generality of pathogen inhibition by different bacterial taxa across pathogen genotypes and environmental ...

Landscape Connectivity Limits the Predicted Impact of Fungal Pathogen Invasion

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Infectious diseases are major drivers of biodiversity loss. The risk of fungal diseases to the survival of threatened animals in nature is determined by a complex interplay between host, pathogen and environment.

Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]

, 2015
Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...

Differentiating Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans in Amphibian Chytridiomycosis Using RNAScope®in situ Hybridization

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans are important amphibian pathogens responsible for morbidity and mortality in free-ranging and captive frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. While B.

Asymptomatic infection of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in captivity. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2018
AbstractOne of the most important factors driving amphibian declines worldwide is the infectious disease, chytridiomycosis. Two fungi have been associated with this disease, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans (Bsal). The latter has recently driven Salamandra salamandra populations to extirpation in parts of the Netherlands, and ...
