2024-02-20
Abstract excerpt
Chytridiomycosis, an infectious skin disease caused by the chytrid fungi, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans , has been threatening global amphibian biodiversity. On the skin of chytrid-resistant amphibians, some antifungal bacteria likely defend them against chytridiomycosis, reducing the mortality of resistant amphibians.
