Monitoring the occurrence and density of parasites and pathogens can identify high infection-
risk areas and facilitates disease control and eradication measures. Environmental DNA …

Environmental pathogen reservoirs exist for many globally important diseases and can fuel
epidemics, influence pathogen evolution, and increase the threat of host extinction. Species …

Harlequin toads (Atelopus) are among the most severely impacted amphibians by the
emergence of chytridiomycosis, a fungal disease caused by the pathogen Batrachochytrium …

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

Phenotypes are the target of selection and affect the ability of organisms to persist in
variable environments. Phenotypes can be influenced directly by genes and/or by …

The amphibian chytrid fungal pathogen (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, henceforth Bd)
has had a devastating impact on biodiversity, causing the decline or extinction of over 500 …

The pandemic amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) can cause more
severe infections with variable temperatures owing to delays in host thermal acclimation …

Despite devastating effects on global biodiversity, efficient mitigation strategies against
amphibian chytridiomycosis are lacking. Since the free-living pathogenic zoospores of …
