Combating adult invasive American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus [PDF]
European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2014 American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus is considered as one of the world’s worst alien invasive species. Currently, the species is present over almost all continents and is suspected to cause substantial ecological damage. Knowledge about its population density, as well as catchability of the species with commonly used sampling gear, is very useful ...

Investigating differences across host species and scales to explain the distribution of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many pathogens infect more than one host species, and clarifying how these different hosts contribute to pathogen dynamics can facilitate the management of pathogens and can lend insight into the functioning of pathogens in ecosystems.

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

Lithobates catesbeianus (American Bullfrog) oocytes: a novel heterologous expression system for aquaporins. [PDF]
Biol Open, 2018 Xenopus laevis oocytes are a valuable tool for investigating the function of membrane proteins. However, regulations around the world, specifically in Brazil, render the import of Xenopus laevis frogs impractical, and, in some cases, impossible. Here, as an alternative, we evaluate the usefulness of the North American aquatic bullfrog Lithobates ...

Multihost saprobes are facultative pathogens of bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus eggs [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012 Pathogens that infect more than one host species create complex linkages in ecological communities. We tested whether saprobes that grow on multiple host species in aquatic systems can be facultative pathogens of amphibian eggs. We isolated oomycetes from dead arthropods, vertebrates, plant leaves, and frog eggs that coexisted in a small pond. Analysis

Duration of spermatogenesis in the bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus)
Theriogenology, 2009 The bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) has substantial economic importance and has also been used as an experimental model for biological studies in the fields of pharmacology, medicine, and reproductive biology, especially studies addressing gametogenesis.
