Virulence and Pathogenicity of Chytrid Fungi Causing Amphibian Extinctions

5 Aug 2021

Abstract excerpt

Ancient enzootic associations between wildlife and their infections allow evolution to innovate mechanisms of pathogenicity that are counterbalanced by host responses. However, erosion of barriers to pathogen dispersal by globalization leads to the infection of hosts that have not evolved effective resistance and the emergence of highly virulent infections. Global amphibian declines driven by the rise of chytrid...
