Conservation decisions under pressure: Lessons from an exercise in rapid response to wildlife disease

Conservation Science and Practice, 2020
Novel outbreaks of emerging pathogens require rapid responses to enable successful mitigation. We simulated a 1‐day emergency meeting where experts were engaged to recommend mitigation strategies for a new outbreak of the amphibian fungal pathogen ...

Apparent absence of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in wild urodeles in the United Kingdom. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractWhether an infectious disease threat to wildlife arises from pathogen introduction or the increased incidence of an already-present agent informs mitigation policy and actions. The prior absence of a pathogen can be difficult to establish, particularly in free-living wildlife. Subsequent to the epidemic emergence of the fungus, Batrachochytrium

Weathering the Storm: Legacies of Extreme Meteorological Events and Daily Weather Variability Shape the Skin Microbiota of the Endangered Golden Alpine Salamander Salamandra atra aurorae (Trevisan, 1982)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In 2018 the Vaia windstorm caused severe damage to much of the woodland habitat of the golden Alpine salamander (Salamandra atra aurorae), an endangered subspecies endemic to the Venetian Prealps, the consequences of which are still being understood. We profiled the bacterial and fungal skin microbiota of 56 golden Alpine salamanders from forest plots ...

Recent Asian origin of chytrid fungi causing global amphibian declines [PDF]

, 2018
Globalized infectious diseases are causing species declines worldwide, but their source often remains elusive. We used whole-genome sequencing to solve the spatiotemporal origins of the most devastating panzootic to date, caused by the fungus ...

Widespread Detection of Amphibian Pathogens in Frog‐Biting Midges (Corethrellidae): Implications for Xenosurveillance

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Amphibian populations worldwide face threats from emerging infectious diseases. We screened frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) from Central and South America for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Ranaviruses, and Trypanosoma spp. using qPCR. All three pathogens were detected, indicating that Corethrella may act as vectors and represent promising tools

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429):Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) [PDF]

, 2017
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of Bsal to be listed, Article 9 for the ...

Mitigating Disease Impacts in Amphibian Populations: Capitalizing on the Thermal Optimum Mismatch Between a Pathogen and Its Host

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Understanding how animal behavior can influence the susceptibility of endangered hosts to emerging pathogens and using this knowledge to ameliorate negative effects of infectious wildlife diseases is a promising avenue in conservation biology ...

Unexpected rarity of the pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Appalachian Plethodon Salamanders: 1957-2011. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Widespread population declines in terrestrial Plethodon salamanders occurred by the 1980s throughout the Appalachian Mountains, the center of global salamander diversity, with no evident recovery.

Distribution of a Non‐Native Amphibian in Britain Explained by a Complex History of Introductions and Translocations

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Success in a biological invasion often depends on whether the non‐native species can disperse from its introduction site and spread across the invaded landscape. The alpine newt, Ichthyosaura alpestris, has achieved a widespread distribution in Britain in the last century, with new records continuously reported. The objective of this study

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is necronotic: carcasses could play a role in Bsal transmission

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) poses a major threat to global amphibian biodiversity. It is essential we understand Bsal transmission to develop better-informed management strategies.
