Using environmental DNA sampling for simultaneous detection of hosts and their #pathogens: a case study with the critically endangered #frog genus Atelopus - #OpenAccess zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #eDNA #chytridiomycosis #amphibians

Frogs with alpaca genes could soon be hopping around Australia Disease-resistant frogs, cane-toad-munching quolls and other gene-edited native animals could be roaming the nation within the next decade. What could go wrong?

Now here's something new: time for #alpaca 🦙- #frog 🐸

🐸 Chytridiomycosis - a deadly fungal disease - has devastated amphibian populations worldwide. Australia’s alpine tree frog (Litoria verreauxii alpina) has been hit hard, with declines across 80% of its range.

I keep picturing #KermittheFrog doing an awareness spot for #chytridiomycosis and I don't know if it'd be satire or the most effective wildlife conservation spot ever.

Cool‐season environmental water delivery increases extinction risk for chytrid‐infected amphibians We developed a stochastic population model to test the impact of the timing of environmental water delivery on the extinction risk of L. raniformis impacted by amphibian chytrid fungus. Our simulatio...

Amphibian skin bacteria contain a wide repertoire of genes linked to their antifungal capacities - World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology Emerging diseases caused by fungi are a serious threat to wildlife biodiversity. The widespread fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has caused dramatic amphibian population declines an...

Frog 'saunas' help endangered frogs survive the devastating impacts of a deadly fungal disease Macquarie University researchers have used heat to develop a simple and effective way to help endangered frogs survive the devastating impacts of a pandemic sweeping multiple species.

Organically elegant, this is a lovely reponse to the fungal disease #chytridiomycosis that has been collapsing #amphibian populations worldwide.
