Generalist pathogens maintain infectivity in numerous hosts; how this broad ecological
niche impacts host–pathogen coevolution remains to be widely explored. Batrachochytrium …

Abstract The Global Panzootic Lineage of the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd-
GPL) is threatening amphibians worldwide. In contrast, four lineages (Bd-Brazil, Bd-CH, Bd …

Host-pathogen specificity can arise from certain selective environments mediated by both
the host and pathogen. Therefore, understanding the degree to which host species identity …

Emergent infectious diseases are a severe threat to global biodiversity, thus conservation
biologists need to understand the emergence, spread, and evolution of pathogens to identify …

The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) causes the disease
chytridiomycosis, which is responsible for many amphibian declines worldwide. The …

The amphibian fungal disease chytridiomycosis, which affects species across all continents,
recently emerged as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Yet, many aspects of the …

Emerging infectious diseasespose a significant threat to global health, but predicting
disease outcomes for particular species can be complicated when pathogen virulence …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a globally ubiquitous fungal infection that has
emerged to become a primary driver of amphibian biodiversity loss. Despite widespread …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a chytrid fungus that causes chytridiomycosis in
amphibians. Only named in 1999, Bd is a proximate driver of declines in global amphibian …

Emerging infectious wildlife diseases have caused devastating declines, particularly when
pathogens are introduced in naïve host populations. The outcome of disease emergence in …
