Journal ArticleDOI
Novel, panzootic and hybrid genotypes of amphibian chytridiomycosis associated with the bullfrog trade.
Lisa M. Schloegel,Luís Felipe Toledo,Joyce E. Longcore,Sasha E. Greenspan,Conrado Augusto Vieira,Maria Lee,Serena Zhao,Catherine Wangen,Cláudia Maris Ferreira,Marcio Hipolito,Angela J. Davies,Christina A. Cuomo,Peter Daszak,Timothy Y. James +13 more
TL;DR: The finding that Bd is capable of sexual reproduction between panzootic and endemic genotypes emphasizes the risk of international wildlife trade as a source of additional Bd epizootics owing to hybridization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection increases vulnerability to climate change via effects on host thermal tolerance.
Sasha E. Greenspan,Deborah S. Bower,Elizabeth A. Roznik,David A. Pike,Gerry Marantelli,Ross A. Alford,Lin Schwarzkopf,Brett R. Scheffers +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that infectious disease could lead to increased uncertainty in estimates of species’ vulnerability to climate change, due to increased heat sensitivity from infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrids of amphibian chytrid show high virulence in native hosts.
Sasha E. Greenspan,Carolina Lambertini,Tamilie Carvalho,Timothy Y. James,Luís Felipe Toledo,Célio F. B. Haddad,C. G. Becker +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that Bd hybrids have the potential to increase disease risk in native hosts and continued surveillance is needed to track potential spread of hybrid genotypes and detect future genomic shifts in this dynamic disease system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host invasion by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis: fungal and epidermal ultrastructure in model anurans.
TL;DR: Documenting fungal and epidermal ultrastructure during host invasion furthers the understanding of Bd development and the pathogenesis of chytridiomycosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the role of parasites in the ecology of reptiles and amphibians
Deborah S. Bower,Deborah S. Bower,Laura A. Brannelly,Cait A. McDonald,Rebecca J. Webb,Sasha E. Greenspan,Mathew Vickers,Michael G. Gardner,Michael G. Gardner,Matthew J. Greenlees +9 more
TL;DR: The effects of parasite infection on a range of demographic, behavioural, genomic and physiological factors in reptile and amphibian species is reviewed.
