Pathogen-induced population declines and extinction events have been recognized as main
threats to amphibian species around the globe. However, the ecological drivers underlying …

This review paper discusses the Stockholm Paradigm (SP) as a theoretical framework and
practical computational instrument for studying and assessing the risk of emerging infectious …

Ranaviruses are globally distributed pathogens in amphibian, fish, and reptile communities
that appear to be emerging. Cases of ranavirus infection or disease have been confirmed in …

Ranaviruses can cause mass mortality events in amphibians, thereby becoming a threat to
populations that are already facing dramatic declines. Ranaviruses affect all life stages and …

Amphibians are the most threatened species-rich vertebrate group, with species extinctions
and population declines occurring globally, even in protected and seemingly pristine …

For cryptic species, designing and implementing appropriate and effective conservation
strategies is often difficult due to a lack of information about their ecology and biology …

Understanding the threats to wildlife across space and time is essential for developing
effective conservation strategies. In Mesoamerica (ie, the region that extends from Central …

Emerging infectious diseases have contributed to the decline in amphibian species around
the world. Among them, ranavirus infections have major importance, as they significantly …

Ranavirosis is a disease of high concern for amphibians due to widespread documentation
of its lethal and sublethal impacts and its high transmission potential across populations and …

Introduced pathogens can alter the geographic distribution of susceptible host species. For
example, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungal pathogen that has been linked to …
