High-Efficiency Electroporation of Chytrid Fungi
2020-05-26
Abstract excerpt
Two species of parasitic fungi from the phylum Chytridiomycota (chytrids) are annihilating global amphibian populations. These chytrid species— Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans —have high rates of mortality and transmission. Upon establishing infection in amphibians, chytrids rapidly multiply within the skin and disrupt their hosts’ vital homeostasis mechanisms. Current disease models sugge...
