TL;DR: In vivo modelling of aspergillosis in birds allows the evaluation of control measures and the study of host–pathogen interactions, and inoculation in the thoracic air sac is selected as the preferred model for chronic aspergellosis in pigeons.

TL;DR: The high prevalence of Bd in dead captive salamanders, its absence in clinically healthy living ones and its presence in wild salamander is consistent with Bd being involved in recent bolitoglossine population declines, but further studies would be required to draw a causal link.

TL;DR: D. agamarum is a facultative pathogenic bacterium, able to cause dermatitis in agamid lizards when the integrity of the skin is breached, fulfilling Koch's postulates.

TL;DR: For Bsal, enzymatic breakdown of hydrogen peroxide by catalases and specific morphological features, were identified as fungal factors altering susceptibility to several of the disinfectants tested, which recommend 1% Virkon S®, 4% sodium hypochlorite and 70% ethanol for disinfecting equipment in the field, lab or captive setting, with a minimal contact time of 1 minute for the latter disinfectants.

TL;DR: It is concluded that management and restoration of forest fragments aimed at maximizing ecosystem multifunctionality should be tailored to the specific landscape context.
