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

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 …

Air filtration has become an essential need for passive pollution control. However, most of
the commercial air purifiers rely on dense fibrous filters, which have good particulate matter …

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 …

As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, populations of many organisms are declining
and species are being lost at unprecedented rates around the world. This includes many …

Symbiotic microbial communities may interact with infectious pathogens sharing a common
host. The microbiome may limit pathogen infection or, conversely, an invading pathogen can …

An overview of the morphology and life cycle of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the cause
of chytridiomycosis of amphibians, is presented. We used a range of methods to examine …

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been implicated in the decline and
extinction of numerous frog species worldwide. In Queensland, Australia, it has been …

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 …

A newly discovered infectious disease of amphibians, chytridiomycosis, caused by the
fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, is implicated in population declines and …
