Innate immune mechanisms of defense are especially important to ectothermic vertebrates
in which adaptive immune responses may be slow to develop. One innate defense in …

Mounting evidence implicates the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus

has caused dramatic amphibian population declines and extinctions in Australia, Central …

Spread of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has caused
the decline and extinction of frogs, but the distribution of Bd is not completely known. This …

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) poses a major threat to amphibian, and more
specifically caudata, diversity. Bsal is currently spreading through Europe, and mitigation …

The chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been linked to extinction and
decline of numerous amphibians. We studied the population-level effects of Bd in two post …

As globalization lowers geographic barriers to movement, coinfection with novel and
enzootic pathogens is increasingly likely. Novel and enzootic pathogens can interact …
