Amphibian chytridiomycosis [PDF]

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010
Amphibian chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. It is arguably the most significant recorded infectious disease of any vertebrate class. The disease is reducing amphibian biodiversity across most continents and regions of the world, affecting the resilience of surviving populations and driving

Chytridiomycosis in Amphibians

Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine, 2015
Abstract Chytridiomycosis is an emerging fungal disease caused by members of the genus Batrachochytrium. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been implicated in declines in wild amphibian populations worldwide. The pathogen is able to infect various groups of amphibians, including anurans, urodeles, and caecilians. B.

Treatment of chytridiomycosis requires urgent clinical trials [PDF]

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010
Effective and safe treatments of amphibian chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), are needed to prevent mortality in captive programs, reduce the risk of disease spread, and better manage the disease in threatened wild populations.

Chytridiomycosis

2018
The amphibian fungal disease chytridiomycosis is considered one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. This lethal skin disease is caused by chytridiomycete fungi belonging to the genus Batrachochytrium. Although sudden amphibian population declines had occurred since the 1970s in the Americas and Australia, mass mortalities were not observed until ...

The Influence of Temperature on Chytridiomycosis In Vivo

EcoHealth, 2017
Chytridiomycosis, an amphibian disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is an ideal system for studying the influence of temperature on host-pathogen relationships because both host and pathogen are ectothermic. Studies of Bd in culture suggest that optimal growth occurs between 17 and 23°C, and death of the fungus ...
