Emerging infectious diseases have caused many species declines, changes in communities
and even extinctions. There are also many species that persist following devastating …

Numerous factors are contributing to the loss of biodiversity. These include complex effects
of multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that may drive population losses. These losses are …

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

With emerging diseases on the rise, there is an urgent need to identify and understand novel
mechanisms of prophylactic protection in vertebrate hosts. Inducing resistance against …

Most research on the effects of parasites on their hosts has focused on the parasites of
mammals or birds (especially, domesticated taxa) rather than systems in which the hosts are …

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 …

Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly recognized as a severe threat to wildlife.
Chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is considered one of the …

Parasites and pathogens are often aggregated in a minority of susceptible hosts within a
population, with a majority of individuals harboring low infection intensities. However …

Chytridiomycosis, a primary disease driving widespread and unprecedented amphibian
declines, is caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Tracking …

Factors behind intraspecific variation in sensitivity to pathogens remain poorly understood.
