Dynamic effects of thermal acclimation on chytridiomycosis infection intensity and transmission potential in Xenopus laevis

Royal Society Open Science
The pandemic amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) can cause more severe infections with variable temperatures owing to delays in host thermal acclimation following temperature shifts.

The amphibian‐killing fungus in a biodiversity hotspot: identifying and validating high‐risk areas and refugia

Ecosphere, 2019
Amphibian chytridiomycosis, due to infection with the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has been associated with the alarming decline and extinction crisis of amphibians worldwide. It is essential for conservation management to identify regions

Environmental temperature and pathogen dose affect histologic lesion count and severity in Notophthalmus viridescens infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
IntroductionBatrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) was discovered a decade ago in Europe, where it is emerging and decimating salamander populations. North America, a global hotspot for salamander biodiversity, faces risk of Bsal introduction through ...
