Origin of the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 The sudden appearance of chytridiomycosis, the cause of amphibian deaths and population declines in several continents, suggests that its etiologic agent, the amphibian chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, was introduced into the affected regions ...

High-efficiency electroporation of chytrid fungi [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Two species of parasitic fungi from the phylum Chytridiomycota (chytrids) are annihilating global amphibian populations. These chytrid species—Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans—have high rates of mortality and transmission.

Genomic transition to pathogenicity in chytrid fungi. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Understanding the molecular mechanisms of pathogen emergence is central to mitigating the impacts of novel infectious disease agents. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is an emerging pathogen of amphibians that has been implicated in

Conservation Science and PracticeAmphibians face severe threats globally, with the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis causing drastic declines in many species, resulting in small remnant populations that can be hard to find.

Chytrid Fungus in Europe [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 To the Editor: Amphibian species are declining at an alarming rate on a global scale (1). One of the major reasons for these declines is chytridiomycosis, caused by the chytridiomycete fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (1,2). This pathogen of amphibians has recently emerged globally (2,3) and has caused mass die-offs and extensive species declines

A cellular and molecular atlas reveals the basis of chytrid development
eLife, 2022 The chytrids (phylum Chytridiomycota) are a major fungal lineage of ecological and evolutionary importance. Despite their importance, many fundamental aspects of chytrid developmental and cell biology remain poorly understood.

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

Evolutionary ecology of host competence after a chytrid outbreak in a naive amphibian community
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2023 Naive multi-host communities include species that may differentially maintain, transmit and amplify novel pathogens; therefore, we expect species to fill distinct roles during infectious disease emergence.
