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

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

The rapid worldwide emergence of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd) is having a profound negative impact on biodiversity. However, global …

Like all other vertebrate groups, amphibian responses to the environment are mediated
through the brain (hypothalamic)-pituitary-adrenal/interrenal (HPA/I) axis and 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 …

Climate change is predicted to have important effects on parasitism and disease in
freshwater and marine ecosystems, with consequences for human health and socio …

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

The Anthropocene is characterized by a widespread biodiversity crisis that is rivaling
prehistoric mass extinctions. Amphibians are the most threatened class of vertebrates. In …

The role of global climate change in the decline of biodiversity and the emergence of
infectious diseases remains controversial, and the effect of climatic variability, in particular …
