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
Cryptic infection of a broad taxonomic and geographic diversity of tadpoles by Perkinsea protists
Aurélie Chambouvet,Aurélie Chambouvet,David J. Gower,Miloslav Jirků,Michael J. Yabsley,Andrew K. Davis,Guy Leonard,Finlay Maguire,Thomas M. Doherty-Bone,Gabriela B. Bittencourt-Silva,Mark Wilkinson,Thomas A. Richards,Thomas A. Richards +12 more
TL;DR: The discovery of a previously unidentified phylogenetically distinct infectious agent of tadpole livers present in a broad range of frogs from both tropical and temperate sites and across all sampled continents demonstrates the high prevalence and global distribution of this infectious protist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection and Lethal Chytridiomycosis in Caecilian Amphibians (Gymnophiona)
David J. Gower,Thomas M. Doherty-Bone,Simon P. Loader,Mark Wilkinson,Marcel T. Kouete,Benjamin Tapley,Frances Orton,Olivia Daniel,Felicity Wynne,Felicity Wynne,E J Flach,Hendrik Müller,Michele Menegon,Ian Stephen,Robert Kenneth Browne,Mathew C. Fisher,Andrew A. Cunningham,Trenton W. J. Garner +17 more
TL;DR: The largest qPCR survey of Bd in caecilians to date is conducted, for more than 200 field-swabbed specimens from five countries in Africa and South America, representing nearly 20 species, 12 genera, and 8 families, and reports the first evidence of lethal chytridiomycosis in caECilians.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dramatic Declines of Montane Frogs in a Central African Biodiversity Hotspot.
Mareike Hirschfeld,David C. Blackburn,Thomas M. Doherty-Bone,Legrand Nono Gonwouo,Sonia L. Ghose,Mark-Oliver Rödel +5 more
TL;DR: This analyses suggest that this may be the first disease-driven community-level decline in anuran biodiversity in Central Africa, and the disappearance of several species known to tolerate habitat degradation, and a trend of stronger declines at higher elevations, are consistent with Bd-induced declines in other regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
West Africa - a safe haven for frogs? A sub-continental assessment of the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis).
Johannes Penner,Gilbert B. Adum,Matthew T. McElroy,Thomas M. Doherty-Bone,Mareike Hirschfeld,Laura Sandberger,Ché Weldon,Andrew A. Cunningham,Torsten Ohst,Torsten Ohst,Emma Wombwell,Daniel M. Portik,Duncan T. Reid,Annika Hillers,Caleb Ofori-Boateng,Caleb Ofori-Boateng,William Oduro,Jörg Plötner,Annemarie Ohler,Adam D. Leaché,Mark-Oliver Rödel +20 more
TL;DR: The surprising apparent absence of Bd in West Africa indicates that the Dahomey Gap may have acted as a natural barrier for amphibians, and highlights the importance of this Bd-free region of the African continent for the long-term conservation of several threatened species depending on fast flowing forest streams.
