To protect Australian amphibian biodiversity, we have identified and prioritised frog species
at an imminent risk of extinction from chytridiomycosis, and devised national management …

The introduction of non‐native species is a major threat to biodiversity. While eradication
programs of well‐established invaders are costly and hazardous for non‐target species, the …

The amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a skin pathogen that
can cause the emerging infectious disease chytridiomycosis in susceptible species. It has …

Emerging infectious diseases can have serious consequences for wildlife populations,
