Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of asynchronous emergence of two lethal pathogens on amphibian assemblages
Gonçalo M. Rosa,Joana Sabino-Pinto,Telma G. Laurentino,An Martel,Frank Pasmans,Rui Rebelo,Richard A. Griffiths,Anke C. Stöhr,Rachel E. Marschang,Stephen J. Price,Trenton W. J. Garner,Jaime Bosch +11 more
TL;DR: It is found little evidence that pre-existing chytrid emergence was associated with ranavirus and the emergence of ranavirosis, and co-infection dynamics have been largely overlooked in an amphibian assemblage in Serra da Estrela.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integral chain management of wildlife diseases

TL;DR: The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused the most prominent loss of vertebrate diversity ever recorded, which peaked in the 1980s as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiological tracing of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans identifies widespread infection and associated mortalities in private amphibian collections.
TL;DR: The results indicate that Bsal is likely widespread within the private amphibian trade, at least in Europe, and are important for informing policy regarding Bsal control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Price,Francisco Ruiz-Fons,Marie-Pierre Ryser-Degiorgis,Frederik Widén,Dolores Gavier-Widén +19 more
TL;DR: An update on changes in the epidemiology of 25 selected infectious, wildlife-related diseases in Europe (from 2010–16) that had an impact, or may have a future impact, on the health of wildlife, livestock, and humans is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of medium-chain fatty acids in drinking water increases Campylobacter jejuni colonization threshold in broiler chicks
David Hermans,An Martel,An Garmyn,Marc Verlinden,Marc Heyndrickx,Inne Gantois,Freddy Haesebrouck,Frank Pasmans +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that adding an emulsion of a mixture of caproic, caprylic, capric, and lauric acids to the drinking water of broiler chicks reduces their colonization susceptibility and prevents C. jejuni survival in drinking water.
