TL;DR: Patterns and complexity underlying global amphibian trade are outlined, highlighting some loopholes that need to be addressed and steps to improve the policy and enforcement framework are suggested.

TL;DR: Unequal relative availability of environments in native and invasive ranges may lead to underestimation of observed niche overlap between native pathogen populations and putative hosts in the invasive range, causing uncertainty to overlap measurements, and predictions of potential further spread.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to present an overview of all Bsal diagnostic tools together with their limitations and to suggest guidelines to allow uniform interpretation to facilitate standardization of execution and interpretation.

TL;DR: Copenhagen strains isolated from homing pigeons were tested for susceptibility to the antimicrobials most commonly used to treat pigeons, and none showed extended spectrum β -lactamase activity, implying that the cephalosporins (ceftiofur) remained active.

TL;DR: It is suggested that fire salamander skin, in natural settings, maintains bacterial communities at numbers too low to confer sufficient protection against Bsal, and, in fact, the native skin microbiota can constitute a source of opportunistic bacterial pathogens that contribute to pathogenesis.
