Host Genus and Habitat Use Shape the Distribution of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Lineages in a Hyper‐Diverse Tropical Amphibian Community [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPathogens often exploit ecological and evolutionary opportunities created by anthropogenic change, with profound consequences for host communities. In Brazil's Atlantic Forest, the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) exemplifies ...

Does Chytridiomycosis Affect Tree Frog Attachment? [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 The pandemic disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a major threat to amphibian biodiversity. For most species, the exact mechanisms of chytridiomycosis that lead to negative population dynamics remain ...

Mitigation of chytridiomycosis on Bombina variegata tadpoles with the antimicrobial metabolites of the bacterium Xenorhabdus szentirmaii [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumSurvival of amphibian assemblages is threatened by many factors. Among them, chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has great importance, also threatening populations of the yellow-bellied toad ...

Review of the Amphibian Immune Response to Chytridiomycosis, and Future Directions
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The fungal skin disease, chytridiomycosis (caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans), has caused amphibian declines and extinctions globally since its emergence. Characterizing the host immune response to chytridiomycosis has been

Intestinal Nematode Infection Confers a Benefit to a Non‐Declining Frog Species, While a Fungal Parasitic Infection Has Sublethal Impacts on Reproductive Investment [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionEmerging infectious disease is a major cause of wildlife decline around the world. Understanding the impacts of disease even in non‐declining populations is important for understanding population‐level health and resilience to other emerging threats.

Devastating disease can cause increased breeding effort and success that improves population resilience [PDF]
Open BiologyNovel and invasive diseases are a key threat to wildlife. The disease chytridiomycosis has had devastating global impacts, but some amphibian species can persist and even rebound after severe declines.
