Plethodontid salamanders show variable disease dynamics in response to Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans chytridiomycosis

2021-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Emerging infectious diseases are among the leading drivers of the sixth mass extinction. The recent invasion of a highly pathogenic chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), across Europe has led to salamander mass mortality. To date, it remains unclear whether Bsal will cause salamander mass mortalities in North America. Here, we tested the Bsal susceptibility of eight wild-caught salamander speci...
