Mitigating amphibian disease: strategies to maintain wild populations and control chytridiomycosis

TL;DR: It is suggested that disease mitigation not focus exclusively on the elimination or containment of the pathogen, or on the captive breeding of amphibian hosts, rather, successful disease mitigation must be context specific with epidemiologically informed strategies to manage already infected populations by decreasing pathogenicity and host susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stability of microbiota facilitated by host immune regulation: informing probiotic strategies to manage amphibian disease.

TL;DR: The discovery of strong colonization resistance of skin microbiota suggests a well-regulated, rather than dynamic, host-symbiont relationship, and suggests that probiotic therapies aiming to enhance host immunity may require an approach that circumvents host mechanisms maintaining equilibrium in microbial communities.
