TL;DR: An overview of the different categories of fungal infections that can be encountered in animals originating from environmental sources without transmission to humans is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans at new locations and in urodeles of different species expands the known geographic and host range of the fungus and underpins its imminent threat to biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic aquatic predators strongly affect infection dynamics of a globally emerged pathogen.

TL;DR: Experimental infections show that aquatic microfauna can rapidly lower the abundance and density of infectious stages by consuming Bd zoospores, resulting in a significantly reduced probability of infection in anuran tadpoles and contribute to the understanding of ecosystem resilience to colonization by novel pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete nucleotide sequence of CTX-M-15-plasmids from clinical Escherichia coli isolates: insertional events of transposons and insertion sequences
Annemieke Smet,Filip Van Nieuwerburgh,Tom T. M. Vandekerckhove,An Martel,Dieter Deforce,Patrick Butaye,Freddy Haesebrouck +6 more
TL;DR: Data suggests that IS26 together with ISEcp1 could play a critical role in the evolution of diverse multiresistant plasmids found in clinical Enterobacteriaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waterfowl: potential environmental reservoirs of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
An Garmyn,Pascale Van Rooij,Frank Pasmans,Tom Hellebuyck,Wim Van den Broeck,Freddy Haesebrouck,An Martel +6 more
TL;DR: Results of the in vitro tests showed that waterfowl are potential environmental reservoirs for B. dendrobatidis, which is attracted to the keratinous toes of aquatic birds on which they can adhere and even proliferate, however, desiccation is poorly tolerated.
