Chytrid fungi and global amphibian declines.

Nature reviews. Microbiology - 1 Jun 2020

Fisher Matthew C, Garner Trenton W J

Abstract excerpt

Discovering that chytrid fungi cause chytridiomycosis in amphibians represented a paradigm shift in our understanding of how emerging infectious diseases contribute to global patterns of biodiversity loss. In this Review we describe how the use of multidisciplinary biological approaches has been essential to pinpointing the origins of amphibian-parasitizing chytrid fungi, including Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis...
