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

Individual‐Level Trait Responses in Cyanobacterial Populations and Communities

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Trait‐based approaches can elucidate mechanisms underlying dynamics of phytoplankton population and community, but assessing individual‐level traits in natural systems remains challenging. This study used flow cytometry to quantify single‐cell trait responses of Microcystis spp. under nutrient, light and CO2 experiment, and these responses were applied

Factors associated with the catastrophic decline of a cloudforest frog fauna in Guatemala

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2004
Comparison of recent and historical surveys of frog populations in cloudforest habitat in Sierra de las Minas,Guatemala,indicated population declines and local extirpation of several species.Pathological exams of diseased tadpoles indicated infection by ...

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is the predominant chytrid fungus in Vietnamese salamanders [PDF]

, 2017
The amphibian chytrid fungi, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and B. salamandrivorans (Bsal), pose a major threat to amphibian biodiversity. Recent evidence suggests Southeast Asia as a potential cradle for both fungi, which likely resulted in ...

Cryptic disease-induced mortality may cause host extinction in an apparently stable host- parasite system [PDF]

, 2017
The decline of wildlife populations due to emerging infectious disease often shows a common pattern: the parasite invades a naive host population, producing epidemic disease and a population decline, sometimes with extirpation.

First record of the chytrid fungus in Lithobates catesbeianus from Argentina: exotic species and conservation

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
Chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (B.d.), is recognized as one of the major factors of amphibian decline. Global trade of amphibians has been identified as one of the causes of B.d.

Is Chytridiomycosis an Emerging Infectious Disease in Asia?

PLoS ONE, 2011
La chytridiomycose, causée par le champignon Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a provoqué des déclins et des extinctions spectaculaires de populations d'amphibiens en Australie, en Amérique centrale et du Nord et en Europe. Le Bd est associé à plus de 200 extinctions d'espèces d'amphibiens, mais toutes les espèces infectées ne sont pas sensibles à ...

Recent Findings of Potentially Lethal Salamander Fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
The distribution of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans continues to expand in Europe. During 2014–2018, we collected 1,135 samples from salamanders and newts in 6 countries in Europe. We identified 5 cases of B.
