Wildlife Pathogens and Zoonotic Disease Risk Assessment in Vietnam: A Wildlife Trade Hotspot

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Vietnam is a wildlife trade hotspot presenting multiple high‐risk interfaces for pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. However, the zoonotic disease risk remains poorly characterized in the country and needs to be assessed to better inform policy dialog and legislative reforms.

Sphaerotheca pashchima, a new species of burrowing frog (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from western India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
Sphaerotheca pashchima, a new species of burrowing frog, is described from western India. It can be diagnosed from all its congeners based on a combination of characters including interorbital width less than upper eyelid width, snout to nostril distance

Biofilms: Novel strategies based on antimicrobial peptides [PDF]

, 2019
The problem of drug resistance is very worrying and ever increasing. Resistance is due not only to the reckless use of antibiotics but also to the fact that pathogens are able to adapt to different conditions and develop self-defense mechanisms such as ...

Karyotype analysis of Quasipaa spinosa David, 1875 (Anura, Dicroglossidae) with conventional cytogenetic techniques [PDF]

Comparative Cytogenetics
The current study analyzed the chromosomal karyotype of Quasipaa spinosa David, 1875 from Hunan Province, China. The karyotype, C-banding, BrdU-banding pattern were characterized using direct preparation of bone-marrow cells and hemocyte cultures.

Gaps in the protection of the amphibians of Myanmar—threat status, endemism, protected area coverage and One Plan Approach conservation 缅甸两栖动物保护之不足——受威胁状况、特有性、保护区覆盖范围及“一揽子保护计划”（One Plan Approach）

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 353-367, December 2024.
The One Plan Approach to Conservation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature highlights the importance of combining on‐site conservation actions with captive breeding efforts. Among vertebrates, amphibians are one of the groups with the highest proportion of species threatened with extinction.

Landscape genetics reveal broad and fine‐scale population structure due to landscape features and climate history in the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) in North Dakota [PDF]

, 2018
Prehistoric climate and landscape features play large roles structuring wildlife populations. The amphibians of the northern Great Plains of North America present an opportunity to investigate how these factors affect colonization, migration, and current

Exploring Paleogene Tibet's warm temperate environments through target enrichment and phylogenetic niche modelling of Himalayan spiny frogs (Paini, Dicroglossidae)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 15, August 2024.
Abstract The Cenozoic topographic development of the Himalaya‐Tibet orogen (HTO) substantially affected the paleoenvironment and biodiversity patterns of High Asia. However, concepts on the evolution and paleoenvironmental history of the HTO differ massively in timing, elevational increase and sequence of surface uplift of the different elements of the

Anthropogenic effects of habitat modification on anuran species diversity in a swamp forest area, Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Anuran species are some of the good environmental indicators of habitat quality and condition in ecosystems. This is due to their amphibious life modes and sensitivity to environmental change caused by rapid expansion of agricultural activities, advancement of forest destruction, climate change and emerging infectious diseases.
