The 'social distancing'that occurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in humans
provides a powerful illustration of the intimate relationship between infectious disease and …

Although the toxicity of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) is recognized at different
trophic levels, our know-how about their effects on amphibians is limited. Thus, we present …

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

Simple Summary Programs to conserve biphasic amphibians may fail if threats at different
life stages are not addressed. Anthropogenic threats, such as altered hydroperiods and …

The stress-induced susceptibility hypothesis, which predicts chronic stress weakens immune
defences, was proposed to explain increasing infectious disease-related mass mortality and …

Amphibians are among the vertebrate groups suffering great losses of biodiversity due to a
variety of causes including diseases, such as chytridiomycosis (caused by the fungal …

The Anthropocene has witnessed catastrophic amphibian declines across the globe. A
multitude of new, primarily human‐induced drivers of decline may lead to extinction, but can …

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are caused by pathogens that have undergone recent
changes in terms of geographic spread, increasing incidence, or expanding host range. In …

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), recently introduced from Asia
to Europe, causes mortality in numerous species of salamanders and newts and has led to …

Complex ecological relationships, such as host–parasite interactions, are often modeled
with laboratory experiments. However, some experimental laboratory conditions, such as …
