Elevated salinity blocks pathogen transmission and improves host survival from the global amphibian chytrid pandemic: Implications for translocations

2018-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Emerging infectious diseases are one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. Chytridiomycosis in amphibians is perhaps the most extreme example of this phenomenon known to science. Translocations are increasingly used to fight disease‐induced extinctions. However, many programmes fail because disease is still present or subsequently establishes in the translocation environment. There is a need for studies...
