Probiotic therapy through bioaugmentation is a feasible disease mitigation strategy based
on growing evidence that microbes contribute to host defences of plants and animals …

Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly recognized as key threats to wildlife.
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the causative agent of chytridiomycosis, has been …

Anthropogenic trade and development have broken down dispersal barriers, facilitating the
spread of diseases that threaten Earth's biodiversity. We present a global, quantitative …

Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
(Bd), has contributed to amphibian population declines and extinctions worldwide. The …

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 …

Parasites typically have broader thermal limits than hosts, so large performance gaps
between pathogens and their cold‐and warm‐adapted hosts should occur at relatively warm …

We review the evidence for the role of climate change in triggering disease outbreaks of
chytridiomycosis, an emerging infectious disease of amphibians. Both climatic anomalies …

For over 350 million years, thousands of species of amphibians have lived on earth, but
since the 1990s they have been disappearing at an alarming rate, in many cases quite …

Rain forests represent the world's richest repository of terrestrial biodiversity, and play a
major role in regulating the global climate. They support the livelihoods of a substantial …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) emerged in the 1970s in Australia and the Americas,
causing rapid and catastrophic declines and extinctions of naïve amphibian populations as it …
