Climate as a gatekeeper: Unexpected absence of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in an Asian Chytrid hotspot suggests a narrow climatic niche for the pathogen

2023-05-08

Abstract excerpt

The chytrid fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ( Bsal ) and B. dendrobatidis ( Bd ) are driving amphibian extinctions and population declines worldwide. They are thought to have originated in East/Southeast Asia, and hence Asia remains crucial for understanding the ecology of these pathogens. However, Bsal screening is relatively limited in this region, particularly in hotspots where Bd linea...
