Chytridiomycosis-induced mortality in a threatened anuran

PLOS ONE, 2020
Effectively planning conservation introductions involves assessing the suitability of both donor and recipient populations, including the landscape of disease risk. Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogenBatrachochytrium dendrobatidis(Bd), has caused extensive amphibian declines globally and may hamper reintroduction attempts.

Successful eradication of invasive American bullfrogs leads to coextirpation of emerging pathogens

Conservation Letters, 2023
Interventions of the host–pathogen dynamics provide strong tests of relationships, yet they are still rarely applied across multiple populations. After American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) invaded a wildlife refuge where federally threatened Chiricahua ...

Integral chain management of wildlife diseases [PDF]

, 2019
The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused the most prominent loss of vertebrate diversity ever recorded, which peaked in the 1980s. Recent incursion by its sister species B. salamandrivorans in Europe raised the alarm for a new wave of

Treatment of chytridiomycosis with reduced-dose itraconazole [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012
Effective treatment methods to eliminate infection with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) are required for development of sustainable captive survival assurance populations of amphibians and to reduce the risk of introducing Bd to new locations as part of amphibian trade or reintroduction programs.

Pathogenic fungus in feral populations of the invasive North American bullfrog in Argentina [PDF]

, 2017
Nearly a third (32.4%) of the world?s amphibian species are either threatened with extinction or already extinct (1). The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) (Chytridiomycetes: Ryzophydiales) (2) has been recognized as responsible for mass

Tracking, Synthesizing, and Sharing Global Batrachochytrium Data at AmphibianDisease.org

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Emerging infectious diseases have been especially devastating to amphibians, the most endangered class of vertebrates. For amphibians, the greatest disease threat is chytridiomycosis, caused by one of two chytridiomycete fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium

Using environmental DNA for detection of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in natural water [PDF]

, 2020
Rapid, early, and reliable detection of invasive pathogenic microorganisms is essential in order to either predict or delineate an outbreak, and monitor appropriate mitigation measures. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is expanding in

Frog skin epithelium: Electrolyte transport and chytridiomycosis [PDF]

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2012
One unique physiological characteristic of frogs is that their main route for intake of water is across the skin. In these animals, the skin acts in concert with the kidney and urinary bladder to maintain electrolyte homeostasis. Water absorption across the skin is driven by the osmotic gradient that develops as a consequence of solute transport.

Survival of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Water: Quarantine and Disease Control Implications

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Amphibian chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians thought to be moved between countries by trade in infected amphibians. The causative fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, produces aquatic, motile zoospores; infections have ...
