Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a chytrid fungus that causes chytridiomycosis in
amphibians. Only named in 1999, Bd is a proximate driver of declines in global amphibian …

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

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

Epidemiological theory generally suggests that pathogens will not cause host extinctions
because the pathogen should fade out when the host population is driven below some …

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

Population losses and extinctions of species are occurring at unprecedented rates, as
exemplified by declines and extinctions of amphibians worldwide. However, studies of …

Recent results continue to show the general consensus that ozone-related increases in UV-
B radiation can negatively influence many aquatic species and aquatic ecosystems (eg …

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

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is the chytridiomycete fungus which has been implicated in
global amphibian declines and numerous species extinctions. Here, we show that …

The development and refinement of amphibian medicine comprise an ongoing science that
reflects the unique life history of these animals and our growing knowledge of amphibian …
