Mitigating amphibian chytridiomycoses in nature [PDF]
, 2016 Amphibians across the planet face the threat of population decline and extirpation caused by the disease chytridiomycosis. Despite consensus that the fungal pathogens responsible for the disease are conservation issues, strategies to mitigate their ...

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Amphibian Immune Defenses against Chytridiomycosis: Impacts of Changing Environments [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2011 Eco-immunology is the field of study that attempts to understand the functions of the immune system in the context of the host's environment. Amphibians are currently suffering devastating declines and extinctions in nearly all parts of the world due to the emerging infectious disease chytridiomycosis caused by the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium ...

Disease Refuge or Ecological Trap: Location‐Specific Performance of Amphibian Hotspot Shelters
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Artificial hotspot shelters, which provide sun‐heated retreats, can help frogs clear infections from the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) by creating warm microhabitats unsuitable for the pathogen. We monitored shelter temperatures at two Australian sites and found they reached therapeutic levels far more often in Sydney than ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Amphibians like Fowler's Toad are vital to ecosystems but face population declines, prompting conservation efforts through captive breeding programs. This study examined how captivity and diet influence the fungal gut microbiome (mycobiome) in wild‐caught toads using metabarcoding.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Emerging infectious diseases have been responsible for declines and extinctions in a growing number of species. Predicting disease variables like infection prevalence and mortality and how they vary in space and time will be critical to understanding how

Re-introduction of the Mallorcan midwife toad, Mallorca, Spain [PDF]
, 2008 The Mallorcan midwife toad (Alytes muletensis, Sanchíz & Alcover, 1977) or ferreret was first described in the 1970s as Baleaphryne muletensis from upper Pleistocene fossils, and was considered extinct.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT The amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated global amphibian biodiversity. The specific reasons for its rapid global spread, especially to pristine areas, are not well understood. Freshwater invertebrates might function as carriers of Bd, but the diversity and extent

Field notes on findings of threatened amphibian species in the central mountain range of western Panama [PDF]
, 2012 During field work along a transect in the Cordillera Central of western Panama between 2008 and 2010, we detected several populations of amphibian species which are considered as “Endangered” or “Critically Endangered” by the IUCN.

Trade in wild anurans vectors the urodelan pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans into Europe [PDF]
, 2017 Pathogen pollution has caused dramatic losses of amphibian diversity on a global scale. The recently emerged chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has been hypothesized to have its origin in Asian urodelan populations, from which it may
