Preparing for a Bsal invasion into North America has improved multi-sector readiness
Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile ScienceWestern palearctic salamander susceptibility to the skin disease caused by the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) was recognized in 2014, eliciting concerns for a potential novel wave of amphibian declines following the B ...

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 376-384, June 2026.Emerging fungal diseases pose a threat to reptiles globally. Increasing detections of onygenalean fungi, particularly Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis spp. and Paranannizziopsis spp. in clinically diseased free‐ranging reptiles, indicate likely ongoing spread within wild reptile populations.

A bibliometric-mapping approach to identifying patterns and trends in amphibian decline research
Acta Herpetologica, 2020 Amphibian decline is one of the most severe and well-documented examples of immediacy of the ongoing biodiversity crisis. In this study we analyze the scientific literature on amphibian declines with a view to identifying and analyzing emerging patterns ...

Host Abundance Predicts Interactive Roles in Neotropical Bat–Bat Fly Interactions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We analyzed the influence of bat functional traits on their importance as hosts in bat–bat fly networks. Our results indicate that bat abundance is the main driver for host importance in Neotropical bat–bat fly interactions. ABSTRACT Host functional traits are known to shape host‐parasite interactions across multiple taxa.

Amphibian disease and declines: Chytridiomycosis [PDF]
Microbiology Australia, 2005 Chytridiomycosis is caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a unique fungal organism of the phylum Chytridiomycota, a large group of ubiquitous fungi better known as silent digesters of organic waste or as parasites of nematodes and unicellular organisms such as pollen or algae. Chytr is the Greek root for earthen pot, Batracho ? frog and dendrobates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study evaluated the genetic health of the endangered Rawlinsonia littlejohni following habitat modification and climatic variability. We identified two genetically distinct sub‐populations separated by limited gene flow, with heterozygosity remaining higher and inbreeding lower in the northern sub‐population containing both natural and constructed

Emerging Pathogen in Wild Amphibians and Frogs (Rana catesbeiana) Farmed for International Trade
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 Chytridiomycosis is an emerging disease responsible for global decline and extinction of amphibians. We report the causative agent, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in North American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) farmed for the international restaurant ...
