Genetic characterization of chytrids isolated from larval amphibians collected in central and east Texas

2018-10-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Chytridiomycosis, an emerging infectious disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ), has caused amphibian population declines worldwide. Bd was first described in the 1990s and there are still geographic gaps in the genetic analysis of this globally distributed pathogen. Relatively few genetic studies have focused on regions where Bd exhibits low virulence, p...
