Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple emergences of genetically diverse amphibian-infecting chytrids include a globalized hypervirulent recombinant lineage.
Rhys A. Farrer,Lucy A. Weinert,Jon Bielby,Trenton W. J. Garner,Francois Balloux,Frances C. Clare,Frances C. Clare,Jaime Bosch,Andrew A. Cunningham,Ché Weldon,Louis H. Du Preez,Lucy G. Anderson,Sergei L. Kosakovsky Pond,Revital Shahar-Golan,Daniel A. Henk,Matthew C. Fisher +15 more
TL;DR: It is postulate that contact between previously genetically isolated allopatric populations of Bd may have allowed recombination to occur, resulting in the generation, spread, and invasion of the hypervirulent BdGPL leading to contemporary disease-driven losses in amphibian biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article used whole-genome sequencing to solve the spatiotemporal origins of the most devastating panzootic to date, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a proximate driver of global amphibian declines.
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
Amphibian chytridiomycosis outbreak dynamics are linked with host skin bacterial community structure
Kieran A. Bates,Kieran A. Bates,Frances C. Clare,Simon J. O’Hanlon,Jaime Bosch,Lola Brookes,Kevin Hopkins,Emilia J. McLaughlin,Olivia Daniel,Trenton W. J. Garner,Matthew C. Fisher,Xavier A. Harrison +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that different types of disease dynamics (enzootic versus epizootic) are associated with different microbiota in the host populations, and bacterial communities differ between life stages with few shared taxa, indicative of restructuring at metamorphosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing risk and guidance on monitoring of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Europe through identification of taxonomic selectivity of infection.

TL;DR: A European data set for B. dendrobatidis was compiled to analyze the trends of infection in European amphibians and found frogs in the families Alytidae and Bombinatoridae were significantly more likely to be infected than predicted by chance.
