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.

Laboratory Maintenance of the Chytrid Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Current Protocols, 2021
The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a causative agent of chytridiomycosis, a skin disease associated with amphibian population declines around the world. Despite the major impact Bd is having on global ecosystems, much of Bd’s basic

Decomposition of Fungus Chytrid

Petroleum and Chemical Industry International, 2023
The purpose of this study was to look into the negative effects of the fungus chytrid as a microorganism. The research question was whether these organisms could be separated from eukaryotic life such as plants. The method involved using terbinafine as a treatment for fungal infections.

A newly isolated chytrid fungus specialized in parasitizing heterocysts of the filamentous cyanobacterium Dolichospermum sp.

Hydrobiologia
Chytridiomycota (chytrids) are aquatic fungal parasites characterized by a stage of free-swimming zoospores and that are known to infect many phytoplankton species, typically killing the host cell.

A review of the taxonomic diversity, host–parasite interactions, and experimental research on chytrids that parasitize diatoms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are a major source of primary production on Earth, generating between 1/4 to 1/2 of all oxygen. They are found in almost all bodies of water, the ice of mountains, the arctic and the antarctic, and soils.

Environmental Conditions Determine the Course and Outcome of Phytoplankton Chytridiomycosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Chytrid fungi are highly potent parasites of phytoplankton. They are thought to force phytoplankton organisms into an evolutionary arms race with high population diversity as the outcome.

Widely used herbicide metolachlor can promote harmful bloom formation by stimulating cyanobacterial growth and driving detrimental effects on their chytrid parasites.

Environmental Pollution
Metolachlor (MET) is a widely used herbicide that can adversely affect phytoplanktonic non-target organisms, such as cyanobacteria. Chytrids are zoosporic fungi ubiquitous in aquatic environments that parasitize cyanobacteria and can keep their ...

Punctuated evolution and transitional hybrid network in an ancestral cell cycle of fungi

eLife, 2016
Although cell cycle control is an ancient, conserved, and essential process, some core animal and fungal cell cycle regulators share no more sequence identity than non-homologous proteins.

Fight Fungi with Fungi: Antifungal Properties of the Amphibian Mycobiome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Emerging infectious diseases caused by fungal taxa are increasing and are placing a substantial burden on economies and ecosystems worldwide. Of the emerging fungal diseases, chytridomycosis caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (hereafter ...

Conservation risk of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans to endemic lungless salamanders

Conservation Letters, 2020
The emerging fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), is a significant conservation threat to salamander biodiversity in Europe, although its potential to affect North American species is poorly understood.
