Discovering that chytrid fungi cause chytridiomycosis in amphibians represented a paradigm
shift in our understanding of how emerging infectious diseases contribute to global patterns …

Infectious diseases affect people, domestic animals and wildlife alike, with many pathogens
being able to infect multiple species. Fifty years ago, following the wide-scale manufacture …

Abstract Southeast Asia (SE Asia) is a known global hotspot of biodiversity and endemism,
yet the region is also one of the most biotically threatened. Ecosystems across the region are …

Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians that affects over 700
species on all continents where amphibians occur. The amphibian–chytridiomycosis system …

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

Globalized infectious diseases are causing species declines worldwide, but their source
often remains elusive. We used whole-genome sequencing to solve the spatiotemporal …

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 …

Understanding the evolutionary history of microbial pathogens is critical for mitigating the
impacts of emerging infectious diseases on economically and ecologically important host …

The increasing number of new fungal species described from all over the world along with
the use of genetics to define taxa, has dramatically changed the classification system of …
