bioRxiv, 2021 Host-pathogen specificity can arise from certain selective environments mediated by both the host and pathogen. Therefore, understanding the degree to which host species identity is correlated with pathogen genotype can help reveal historical host ...

A cellular and molecular atlas reveals the basis of chytrid development
bioRxiv, 2021 The chytrids (phylum Chytridiomycota) are a major early-diverging fungal lineage of ecological and evolutionary importance. Despite their importance, many fundamental aspects of chytrid developmental and cell biology remain poorly understood.

Environmental factors affecting chytrid (Chytridiomycota) infection rates on Planktothrix agardhii.
Journal of Plankton Research, 2021 Planktothrix agardhii dominates the cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom biomass in Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie (USA) from May until September. This filamentous cyanobacterium known parasites including the chytrid fungal species Rhizophydium sp. C02, which was

Epidermal galactose spurs chytrid virulence and predicts amphibian colonization
Nature Communications, 2021 The chytrid fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans cause the skin disease chytridiomycosis in amphibians, which is driving a substantial proportion of an entire vertebrate class to extinction.

Growth Regulation in Amphibian Pathogenic Chytrid Fungi by the Quorum Sensing Metabolite Tryptophol
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 ...

Climate structuring of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection in the threatened amphibians of the northern Western Ghats, India [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a pathogen killing amphibians worldwide. Its impact across much of Asia is poorly characterized. This study systematically surveyed amphibians for Bd across rocky plateaus in the northern section of the Western ...

Nature Communications, 2017 New infections of the amphibian chytrid fungus could arise from other animal reservoirs in the environment. Here, Liewet al. demonstrate that zebrafish can be infected by chytrid similarly to amphibians, expanding our understanding of how this pathogen ...

Mycoloop: chytrids in aquatic food webs [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Parasites are ecologically significant in various ecosystems through their role in shaping food web structure, facilitating energy transfer, and controlling disease. Here in this review, we mainly focus on parasitic chytrids, the dominant parasites in aquatic ecosystems, and explain their roles in aquatic food webs, particularly as prey for zooplankton.
