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 …

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

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

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

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 …

The emerging amphibian disease chytridiomycosis is caused by the fungal pathogen
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Amphibian populations and species differ in …

Host-microbe symbioses rely on the successful transmission or acquisition of symbionts in
each new generation. Amphibians host a diverse cutaneous microbiota, and many of these …

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 …

For over 350 million years, thousands of species of amphibians have lived on earth, but
since the 1990s they have been disappearing at an alarming rate, in many cases quite …
