Mechanisms underlying host persistence following amphibian disease emergence determine appropriate management strategies
Emerging infectious diseases have caused many species declines, changes in communities
and even extinctions. There are also many species that persist following devastating …

Inhibition of fungal pathogens across genotypes and temperatures by amphibian skin bacteria
Symbiotic bacteria may dampen the impacts of infectious diseases on hosts by inhibiting
pathogen growth. However, our understanding of the generality of pathogen inhibition by …

Bullfrog farms release virulent zoospores of the frog-killing fungus into the natural environment
Bullfrog farming and trade practices are well-established, globally distributed, and
economically valuable, but pose risks for biodiversity conservation. Besides their negative …
