Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction
event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens …

Pathogen-induced population declines and extinction events have been recognized as main
threats to amphibian species around the globe. However, the ecological drivers underlying …

Research on emerging infectious wildlife diseases has placed particular emphasis on host-
derived barriers to infection and disease. This focus neglects important extrinsic …

To investigate interactions among disease, pesticides, water quality, and adjacent land
cover, we collected samples of water, sediment, and frog tissue from 21 sites in 7 States in …

While disease‐induced extinction is generally considered rare, a number of recently
emerging infectious diseases with load‐dependent pathology have led to extinction in …

The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) poses a major threat to
amphibian populations. To assist efforts to address such threats, we examined differences in …

In an era where emerging infectious diseases are a serious threat to biodiversity,
epidemiological patterns need to be identified, particularly the complex mechanisms driving …

In clinical and laboratory practice, the use of anesthetics is essential in order to perform
surgeries. Anesthetics, besides causing sedation and muscle relaxation, promote several …

In the last two decades a wealth of field studies has documented Bd infection on amphibians
worldwide. These studies have demonstrated that the pathogen presence, infection severity …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is one of the world's most invasive species, and is
responsible for chytridiomycosis, an emerging infectious disease that has caused huge …
