TL;DR: A global, quantitative assessment of the amphibian chytridiomycosis panzootic demonstrates its role in the decline of at least 501 amphibian species over the past half-century and represents the greatest recorded loss of biodiversity attributable to a disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results show that B. salamandrivorans is restricted to, but highly pathogenic for, salamanders and newts (Urodela), and likely originated and remained in coexistence with a clade of salamander hosts for millions of years in Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
First evidence of amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) and ranavirus in Hong Kong amphibian trade.
Jonathan E. Kolby,Kristine M. Smith,Lee Berger,William B. Karesh,Asa Preston,Allan P. Pessier,Lee F. Skerratt +6 more
TL;DR: Rapid response efforts are now urgently needed to determine current pathogen distribution in Hong Kong, evaluate potential trade-associated exposure to free-ranging amphibians, and identify opportunities to prevent disease establishment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work identifies four main obstacles to developing proactive management strategies for the newly discovered salamander pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), and advocates using decision analysis to create and evaluate trade-offs between proactive and reactive management options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terrestrial Dispersal and Potential Environmental Transmission of the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis).
Jonathan E. Kolby,Sara D. Ramirez,Lee Berger,Kathryn L. Richards-Hrdlicka,Merlijn Jocque,Lee F. Skerratt +5 more
TL;DR: High prevalence of infection detected in the recently metamorphosed amphibians and frequent shedding of Bd-positive residue on foliage demonstrates a pathway of BD dispersal between aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
