Effects of emerging infectious diseases on amphibians: a review of experimental studies
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 …

Frog skin epithelium: electrolyte transport and chytridiomycosis
CR Campbell, J Voyles, DI Cook, A Dinudom - The international journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
One unique physiological characteristic of frogs is that their main route for intake of water is
across the skin. In these animals, the skin acts in concert with the kidney and urinary bladder …
