Abstract excerpt
Chytridiomycosis, a highly significant global wildlife disease, has caused unprecedented amphibian population declines and species extinctions worldwide. In contrast, mass die-offs due to chytridiomycosis have not been observed in Asia, which is thought to be the ancestral region of origin and a hyper-diversity hotspot of the known causal pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobtidis ( Bd ) and B. salamndrivorans (...
