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
Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host.
TL;DR: This review explores the molecular, epidemiological, and ecological evidence that Bd evolved from an endemic ancestral lineage to achieve global prominence via anthropogenically mediated spread and considers the major host and pathogen factors that have led to the occurrence of chytridiomycosis in amphibian species, populations, and communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent introduction of a chytrid fungus endangers Western Palearctic salamanders

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
Multiple emergences of genetically diverse amphibian-infecting chytrids include a globalized hypervirulent recombinant lineage.

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
Mapping the Global Emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus
Deanna H. Olson,David M. Aanensen,Kathryn L. Ronnenberg,Christopher I. Powell,Susan F. Walker,Jon Bielby,Trenton W. J. Garner,George Weaver,Matthew C. Fisher +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that detected Bd infections are related to amphibian biodiversity and locations experiencing rapid enigmatic declines, supporting the hypothesis that greater complexity of amphibian communities increases the likelihood of emergence of infection and transmission of Bd.
